A soft cherry nose with a hint of sweetness, some chocolate notes. Soft and juicy on the palate, very fruity with more cherries. Nice soft tannins with good length.

Tasting Notes
Ben says of the 2010 (April 2017): A lovely ruby colour with a soft rim leads to a cherry nose with quite a lot of chocolate coming through. The acidity still gives plenty of freshness and the dark chocolate now covers the cherries in the mouth giving a lovely chocolate start and a burst of cherry following. The tannins have sufficient grip and the finish is quite long and delicious.
This is a wine to drink now and to keep for five or six more years.
Ben says of the 2015 (December 2018): The notes for the 2010 apply pretty well to the 2015 but, understandably, there is far more freshness. A delightful wine.
