Philip's Review:

Sweet tropical fruits of kiwi, pineapple and vanilla on the nose. Very buttery with flavors of red apple, cinnamon. Medium acidity keeps the wine from feeling flabby and the finish has a nice sharpness to it. Very creamy mouth feel throughout.

Philip's Review:

Creamy nose with hints of pyrite. Very mineral in the mouth, with a cool iron and iodine flavor. Intense fruits, bordering on a licorice flavor. Very powerful and intense, with a thick concentrated mouthfeel.

Philip's Review:

Slightly leathery on the nose with a sweet cherry and white pepper flavor. Musty with earthy, leathery flavors that mix with blackberry and raspberry. Good grip throughout, leading to a powerful finish.

Philip's Review:

Red apples on the nose, with a nice caramel scent. There are also notes of cashew and oak upfront. The wine has good bite upfront, before moving to a mellow, wide mid palate of butter, caramel, candied apple and cinammon. Finishes on a lot of oak, but is well done.

Philip's Review:

Nice champagne, well aged, soft and subtle with a very nice texture. To be honest I was celebrating so it went down quick...

Philip's Review:

Chocolatey nose that's very mineral. Good acidity and firm tannins work well with this very fruity wine. Main flavors of blackberry, leather and licorice.

Philip's Review:

Still as tasty as ever. Fantastically priced for a wine of this quality. Off dry, but with great acidity, which keeps the wine lively and taught. Beautiful flavors of peach, mango and other tropical fruits, this is a fantastic wine and highly recommended

Philip's Review:

Chemically licorice nose - which didnt excite me. However, in the mouth its a lot nicer with fat fruity flavors of bing cherry, and blackberry. Nice chocolate, cedar and vanilla flavors. Toasted marshmallow and bread on the finish, with more Christmas spice and vanilla. Nice

Philip's Review:

A nice meaty nose bursting with dark fruits. Very fruity, very nice - lots of structure, tastes like there's some cab which is giving it that structure.

Philip's Review:

Black fruits mix with an earthy, leathery nose. Thick concentrated juice. Very musty, earthy and tannic. The wines still young, but shows excellent potential. Lots of acidity on the finish.
