  This is a bold, fruity wine with ripe tannins and a touch of toast. This toastiness needs to soften to fill out the palate with the red-berry fruits and acidity. The tannic core is dry, firm and solid, offering aging potential. Drink from 2018.

  With too much smoky toast, this gives a hard, extracted feel with licorice rather than fruit. Tannins are dense and hints of juicy fruitiness only appear in the background.

• 2010

  Structured, concentrated wine, showing the firm texture of the vintage with firm tannins balancing intense acidity. The wine has power—witness the alcohol—but this is contained in a more elegant texture. Best to age this wine for 4–5 years.
