Dark ruby with quite a bit of evolution. Very rich and rewarding on the nose. Lots of interest and development. Pretty wine. A little sweet and chocolatey underneath. But capable of providing lots of pleasure for not too much money, I'd have thought. Just a tiny suggestion of greenness underneath. I'd drink sooner rather than later. (JR)
Lively ruby. Something a little bit reminiscent of charcoal on the nose. Sweet and simple and easy. Good for early drinking with some vivacity, but no great weight. (JR)
Very deep colour. Rather strangely floral nose. Round, easy, and very early developed. Relatively lightweight, but lots of easy, flattering pleasure. No great depths. (JR)
