  July 23, 2021 - Dark greyish red. Musky ripe fruit and oaky on the nose. Full body of black plums, blackberries balanced with toned tannins. Spice muted. Nice smooth finish.
  Went down well with lamb biryanis on the second day.
  Third day full body rich with black plums, blackberries.
  Tablespoon of sediment

  January 6, 2021 - Very good. But not great. Compared to other vintages and vineyards of Clarendon, this lacks some power, finesse, and fineness.

  October 26, 2020 - When first opened, the wine has an awesome nose of liquorice, bourbon, and black raspberry. After a few minutes, there's also a note of damp leaf litter. Palate shows sharp acidity over a background of soft, faded tannins. The fruit is outrageously powerful, with flavours of plum wine, soy sauce, and pencil shavings. The wine has a fairly strong vinegar note, which is honestly pretty unpleasant on its own, but the fruit is powerful enough to cover such minor faults. Definitely a flawed wine, but so much fun to drink!

  August 7, 2020 - My experience was the same as NMOREILLY'S notes below. Basically PNP and enjoyed over a few hours. Very nice. My guess is it has 2-4 years left.
