September 30, 2023 - Such a strong note of cabernet to it. Supple smooth on the palate. So direct, focused, strong cabernet character.

September 22, 2023 - Very dark red color. PNP, drank a glass plus form 375ml over 2.5 hours. Sweet dark fruit nose, pretty cassis notes, menthol, dried spice, dried violets, smoke and a touch of vanilla as this slowly reveals a lovely damp forest floor note. The palate is full and concentrated, cassis, black cherry, dried roses, damp earth, layered and showing round tannins. I still feel there's more to come.

June 30, 2023 - Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. A little yeast extract, touch of fruit tea, very slight herbal note, pretty, jubey black fruits, sweet spice. That jubey fruit translates to the palate joined by fine textured tannic grip which persist, a little white pepper and sweet spice join on the long finish. Nice.
