| Big robust tannin across all 3 wines. Riper and bolder styles. Middle wine showing some lantana. Older wine showing development slight soy sauce character. Just lacking some freshness. |
| Dark fruit and liquorice for W1 with some menthol, thick and rich. Older wines are assertively tannic with bold ferrous and fruitcake character but starting to dry out |
| Nice bright garnet colour on youngest wine, purple fruits and florals. Violet. Tarry notes. Palate has some nice fruit tannin balance, but lacks some acid drive and freshness. Moderatly aged wine shows some decaying leaf characters. but on palate feels warm and lacking. Oldest wine showing some nice tertiary characters but feels syrupy and lacking life on palate.
