A giant of a red, the 1998 vintage is a blend of 80 per cent Montepulciano (see the above discussion about variety identification) and Cabernet Franc (20 per cent). French oak-aged for 22 months, it has dark, noble colour. A strapping wine (14.5 p...

Bright neon, medium purple/red colour. Raw, freshly-fermented grapy aromas, raspberry and banana, with a hint of carbonic maceration. Shrill flavour, fruity and not much tannin at all, which fits an early-drinking fruity style. Indeed, a nice wine.

Medium to full red colour, faint purple hints. Shy, but spicy, earth and pepper aromas. Fairly simple and basic, but clean and pleasant, well-made and balanced. Soft tannins. Drink young.

Medium to full red colour, brick-red rim. Developed and subdued bouquet, with a trace of mint and earthy berry developed aromas. Fair average wine of decent flavour and balance, soft tannins and pleasant structure.

Full red colour, slight brick-red edge. Mint, eucalyptus aromas, pleasant and clean, with some light but firm tannins and good vinosity. Medium to full-bodied and fresh, lively, minty palate of good flavour and intensity.

Deep purple/red colour, looks very young. Raw, shrill, fruity aroma, some sulfidic pong and possibly some carbonic maceration. Sweet palate, obvious residual sugar. Not very interesting.

Good hue; an intriguing bouquet, with nuances of sage, cinnamon and cherry, the palate with a mix of savoury herb and spicy noes alongside the red cherry fruit and fine tannins; the modest alcohol assists the elegance of the wine. 13.5% alc.

Deep, dark red colour with a purple tint. The bouquet is all about walnuts and crushed ironstone, a very earthy, mineral aroma, and absolutely not fruity. It's medium to full in the mouth and has the same lean, savoury, drying minerally, non-fruit...

Bright, youthful, full red/purple colour. Sweaty and slightly reductive, raw fruit aromas. Red cherry to raspberry. Light-bodied and fruity, very primary, and possibly has a touch of residual sugar. Very simple and grapy, a Yellow Tail style of It...

Deep red/purple, excellent colour. Crushed rock and shale-like aromas, minerally, earthy - not fruity. Hints of pepper and spices, and a tinge of animal. The flavour is fleshy and smooth, soft in tannin and with good extract. There's a good balanc...

Delicate stalk-stripping and crushing. Maceration-fermentation for 20 days and ageing for six months in barriques (French 30%- American 70%) which sweetens its tannins without affecting its fabulous fruity flavour. Appearance: Ruby red with gar...
