February 5, 2021 - excellent, not totally primary and not exactly showing much age either...but in a perfect place right now...popped the cork, gave it 1h aeration, just splendid with a juicy piece of steak!

January 10, 2021 - Drinking beautifully - PnP, maybe a short decant is advisable, but then loads of blackcurrant on the palate and a long lingering, smooth and velvety finish.

November 27, 2020 - In a good place. My last bottle was so good had to go back. Black fruits, lovely spicy aromatics. Mild austerity on the palate implies this can still age for some years yet. Drink or hold—in early maturity.

October 4, 2020 - This has improved further. Now showing mineral back bone for Pess Leog. Not sure it will improve further but equally, not rush
