The palate conveys a similar charm, yet bolstered by bright acid that bursts forth through the finish. A minerally edge makes this feel young, fresh and inviting. 91
Dense and heady black fruit leads in, touch of oak and tobacco. More oak on the palate - slathers the wine with some texture, but perhaps masking the fruit a little.
Touch of anise over softened tannins. Gentle through the finish, ebbing along nicely - leaving you yearning for another sip. 91
Slight ferrous and salumi notes. The palate is youthful, vibrant - drinking well in, and if, itself - as well as soaking up some Saturday night pizza. Perhaps lacking the structure for anything more substantive, it does what it needs to. 89
Meat juices, Rosemary and dried herb - resolves to a firmish tannin and following through to a length of generous proportions. Brightness of acidity flowing through, delivering comely notes of bittering chocolate.
Preferred this with proteins where it wrapped them up and accentuated sweet hints of the meat and juices. 92
The palate - initially - has a softer, rounded edge to it. Citrus and stonefruit, slightly waxy feel across the mid-palate before a good line of acid makes its presence known. Latterly I learn its indeed a Sauvignon Blanc/ Semillon blend - so all's right there at least.
Smart blend of its two constituents. 92
Here this Tempranillo shows Blueberry, Plum, touch of baked earth. Mid-weight, with a rub of decent tannin on a length with some bright pop of flavour freshening things up.
Bit of warmth through the finish, the high - and sun-drenched - vineyards of Rutherglen showing their hand in this one. 90
Exudes class, with fine French oak leading the way. Subtle citrus, delicate seasoning.
A suggestion of creaminess on the palate, more of the the oak framing up the middle. Slight butter popcorn, caramel. Fades to a gentle creaminess. 90
