September 10, 2022 - Had it blind.
Been wrapt in tin foil in our celler since release.
Hard to place but in a good place for what it is.
Fresh acidity and some fine tannins, stood up fine to a niceamd rich autumn stew.
Wife liked it aswell, nice wine.
October 1, 2017 - Tasted over two days. The first day the wine showed a green note, but this had disappeared by the second night. This was a concentrated, very modern, plush, rich, smooth version of a cabernet. A little too modern, simple and rich for me, and the hint of RS didn't help either (B).
April 15, 2016 - Opaque, blackish red. Bq open w black currants, jammy, smoky (mint?), some oak. Very fruity, full-bodied, but has good structure w crispy acidity and nice tannins. Fairly long aftertaste w alcohol. Almost mature. Will last 5 - 8 yrs more. Modern style w high extract, but no complexity. Still, a very nice wine for a steak!
May 12, 2013 - Dark red, tending to lighter red at the rim, just a hint of purple - slight SA nose, warm with some menthol. Initially very powerful on the palate when opened, after a couple of hours' decant the wine does tone down a bit, but the alcohol is a bit hot on the finish: on the boundary between fresh and acidic.
March 22, 2013 - exceeded expectations. balanced, early-maturing cab.
December 15, 2012 - Bitter, woody, and unpleasant.
November 6, 2012 - ok. just ok. decent drinker. nothing special. thin mouthfeel. decent, though small, nose
May 4, 2012 - lots of tanins, smoked oak and red berries, currant.. it worked with red meat and was better after a while in glas..
March 6, 2012 - In your face currant-fruity, smoky, spicy and oaky. Extracted taste with obvious residual sweetness. Not what we'd call a nice wine.
January 20, 2012 - Quite shy on the nose but with a big taste that feels good. Difficult to judge.
