"A tropical honeyed nose - slightly spicy. Quite a neat little package on the palate; sweet melon, citrus fruit flavours and good acid."

"I know that some of you will be incredulous about my comments above and will be querying my sanity, If I've given this cask the same points as the other three, and there's twice the volume of wine at pretty much the same price, then this must be the one to buy. My notes indicate that I enjoyed its fruit character although I found it a touch stalky. However, it's clean and fresh and lively, though with reasonably substantial tannins. Perhaps best with a hearty beef or lamb dish."

"Brick red rim. Pleasant nose of mulberries and spice. Very pleasant palate of dark cherries and earthiness with a big oak influence."

"A little dusty on the nose, with porty black fruits and a pretty hint of spice. Full-bodied on the palate with plum and licorice-accented flavours of good length."

"Nose rich with ripe blackberries and cedary spice. Some porty fruit flavours and greenish tannins."
