  March 14, 2023 - Health color and body.
  Not much nose.
  Full, rich mouthful. Fruit has dropped leaving spicy leather tones with slightly salty raisins in the finish.

  December 19, 2021 - Aromas of leather, earth, slight peppery spice, brambles and sweet spice. Juicy acidity, black and green peppercorns, leather, earth, savoury but with some brambly fruit, a little textured but tannins are very much in support. Fresh and rather lovely.

  November 21, 2021 - Cotes du Rhone (Frank's place in Matraville): From Coravin.
  Hmm, touch of oxidation with almost maderisation initially, alcohol warmth, muted red and blackberry, sweet spice, a little pepper and herbaceous underpin, slight polished oak. Juicy acidity, fleshy in fact, chalky drying tannins, again red over blackberry fruit, the palate nicer than the nose. Okay.
  Note; with time that maderised/oxidised note seems to blow off a little and it gets a bit more savoury and meaty.

  December 7, 2019 - Cork looks like new (?). Bricked at the edges but still dark at the core; drank nicely with secondary notes; not exactly beguiling but perfectly nice on night 1; improved and fleshier on night 2. Plenty of sediment when we reached the bottom. Ready but still with some time left.
