Dark mature ruby introduces smoke, damp earth, charcuterie and limestone, followed by raspberry, violet and blood orange. The palate is rich and full yet still fresh, with bright acidity and a measured tannic frame. Oolong tea, truffle, moss and autumn spice add savoury depth before a silky, gently rounded finish. Bottle variation is expected; stand upright and decant carefully.

Deep ruby in colour, with red and black fruit layered over cherry, raspberry and measured spice. The palate is elegant yet powerful, its firm tannic structure balanced by clear fruit and a savoury line of leather and undergrowth. Subtle oak frames the finish without dominating. Serve with roast duck, beef, mushrooms or other deeply flavoured dishes.

Honeyed and marmalade-like at first, with apricot, stewed red fruit and herbal tea developing into dried black fruit, fallen leaves, potting soil and a faint tobacco note. The palate is medium-bodied and elegant, with softened tannins, gentle acidity and exceptional length. Give it time in the glass for initial muskiness to lift, then serve with duck or earthy mushroom dishes.

Dried cherry and darker fruit meet mushroom, spice, iron and a quiet mineral note on the nose. Soft and smooth on the palate, the wine carries integrated acidity, faint dusty tannins and enough remaining fruit to feel balanced rather than fragile. The finish is savoury and gently spicy. Stand the bottle upright before service and decant carefully, stopping if sediment begins to move.
