The fresh fruity flavours are a surprise when the label tells you this wine is five years old. Wines of this age normally start to lose their fresh flavours as they turn more into cooked fruit with a gravy edge. This wine has none of that with its blackberry and cherry juiciness with a hint of liquorice. There's a bit of redcurrant sharpness to balance things out. All in all this is stonking value - equivalent to about a £1 a year of this wine's life.
