Luxurious purple-magenta hues. This youngster from a vintage hailed as superb needs a good splish, splash to open up. Give it a go and then watch the transformation from quiet to confident. It's perkier than its V&A Lane sibling, structured and taut with cabernet sauvignon appearing to call the tune at this stage, with its naturally high acidity and herbal essence. Black currant, blueberry, bitter chocolate and crushed violets. Seriously persistent.

Supple and come-hither red of red berry freshness and yet lushness, cool herb, mint and pepper spice notes, licks of faint clove and cedar. A delightful array of character. Taut, slender tannins shape the wines, cool acidity keeping things lifted and fresh, almost mouth-perfume like characters, but the tannins, oh they roll long and so fine. Effortless, gliding, elegant and low key, but with so much detail and, importantly, a sense of future potential.
