May 12, 2021 - 9/12, screw cap. No formal note - still attractive and very drinkable with ripe pear fruit, some creamy oak, nice fresh acidity and decent length. Not overly complex but good mid-week drinking.

March 10, 2021 - At a good place. Mature but still vigorous. Lots of depth for the Estate cuvee lovely fresh buttery grassy nose. Lot of power and depth but balanced as well. Lovely

December 7, 2020 - Still spot on and perfectly balanced. Coups hold for another 2-3 years . Pineapple, Honey, Lemon and hazelnuts. A smokey nose. And still enough acidity to keep you longing for a new sip over and over again. Almost perfect
