    June 3, 2023 - OK but aging, fruit is past it's prime and becoming muted, a bit of savouriness. It paired with grilled petite tender but was very much just a supporting player with dinner.

    April 25, 2020 - Medium-bodied, super dark and still good acid. Could sit longer. Wonderful notes of dark fruit, cocoa, coffee, burned sugar or toffee. Perfect with a ribeye!

    August 10, 2019 - Very big. Cherry flavor and red fruit. A touch sweet. Very thick almost syrupy mouthfeel. Tannins well integrated but enough left for a slightly dry finish. Went great with a New York strip steak

    August 20, 2017 - Less x-mas spices and less port like than other vintages, this is a refreshing and fruit forward red wine with pure red cherry and red berry flavors. It has good weight and fine tannins. I find this is a lovely wine at a great price (10 Euros). - 89 points
