February 16, 2024 - Wonderful. And at its peak. But it had a somewhat short cork, and the wine had travelled nearly all the way to the top. So drink up!

March 26, 2023 - Second last bottle from my restock. Appearance: deep mulberry core, ruby rim. Nose: more savoury that fruit now: roasted meats, cassis, blueberry, smoke, sage, a hint of eucalyptus, leather and nicely fragrant. Medium+ body. Rich and concentrated. Fades a bit on the finish, but otherwise good balance. Tannins have softened. Nose is more appealing than palate. Very good.

August 4, 2021 - Unpleasant first sips (opened and poured) but improved with air.
Blackberry and eucalyptus on the nose. Same again in the mouth along with chocolate. Fairly soft tannins.
Not bad but seems a bit prematurely aged, especially given it's under screwcap.1 person found this helpful Comment -
