I tasted the 2018 vintage of this wine on 19 Jan 2021 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was quite deep ruby red. The bouquet had strong berry and spice, and light vanilla tannins. There was full berry fruit, mint and spice, dark chocolate, and a medium dry wood finish. This wine had quite full flavours.
I tasted the 1995 vintage of this wine on 02 May 1997 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was medium deep red. The bouquet had mellow medium-dry earthy peppery, and raspberry fruit. The flavour had woody medium-dry pepper, with warm smooth jammy raspberry fruit. The wine was quite smooth.

Average (3.5):
Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!
Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
