November 26, 2020 - Lovely bay leaf and pencil shave notes with a mix of red and blue fruits. Medium to medium plus flavour intensity, similar length. Drink really well at the moment. Great with steak!

July 30, 2020 - Appearance: deep ruby
Nose: medium intensity; aromas of red cherry, cranberry, bay leaf, cedar, dark cherry, licorice, cloves. It’s developing.
Palate: dry, high acidity, medium plus tannins, medium alcohol, medium plus body, medium flavour intensity. The finish is medium.
Overall, it’s a good wine. Drink now, not suitable for further ageing.
Lovely delicious wine with a little bottle ageing. Don’t think it has that flavour concentration to further improve, so drink it! -

May 30, 2020 - Not sure if I just lucked an amazing bottle but i found this wine to be pretty darn good. Structured more like a quality Bordeaux. Iron fist tightly and elegantly wrapped in velvet glove. Flavours of black currant, blueberry, burnt peach/plum, roses, cloves and fennel. Lovely savoury clean finish with freshly lifted tannins present. We couldn’t stop ourselves going back for more.
