Below are the notes for the 2014 which is slightly different to the 2011 of which we still have a few cases. The blend is different and the oak ageing a bit less too. In case you prefer to try the 2014 before we sell through the 2011 please add a note in the reason for ordering tab to let us know and we will send you the 2014.

Very tasty, great value. Planning to buy again!

Dry, deep brick red, tanins, leather, chocolate and berry fruits. Definitely a wine for when you are feeling adult. I’ve added it to my virtual cellar.
