October 7, 2023 - Nose of dark fruit with lots of oak. Good density and polished tannins for a 2011 though.

September 25, 2022 - Very nice bdx in early maturity. Fine darker profike fruits with some cedar notes mixed in. Palate is showing dark and bit heavy with rather coarse tannins. Lengthy mesty finish. Not an elegant vintage but well put together. On the more powerful if brutish side.

September 9, 2022 - A blend of 61% CS and 39% Merlot, wine is aged for 17 months in oak, 50% new. Deep garnet colour, ruby hue. Medium intensity elegant aroma of cherries, spices, dry leaves, black currants, plums, blackberries, licorice. Medium body, elegant and gentle structure with persistent flavours echoing aroma, earthy and dry leaf touches, exemplary well integrated acidity concludes with fine grained tannins and lengthy finish.
