November 1, 2022 - Prime drinking window. Dark purple with tawney hue. Very expressive on the opening, with saddle leather, clove, stewed blue fruits, vanilla. Grenache character coming through. Med to full bodied, with still grainy tannin giving tangible structure. Still 5-10 years ahead and should continue to develop tertiary character.

February 12, 2022 - This has now entered its drinking window nicely. Massive nose with dark, ripe berries, chocolate, coffee and leather. Nice balance on the palate with smooth tannins, good acidity, red berries and some chocolate. Very good!

May 1, 2021 - Lovely leathery complexity with a little (brett) bandaid layered on top, whilst there is still fruit in support. Tannins are faint, but give some nice definition to the finish, that has decent length.
For me this is a great time to drink this, and it might well go longer, but 10-12 years can be a decent benchmark to aim for.2 people found this helpful Comment -
