April 27, 2024 - Absolutely singing tonight. Loads of jammy fruit, but elegantly proportioned, not the least bit overdone, and good supporting tannins. Wasn't paying too much attention as took it for dinner at someone's house but it was just the business. Drink, or hold happily.

August 13, 2023 - Consistent with note from 2 years ago, this is moving along incredibly slowly. It has very pretty fruit and a lithe palate, and I look forward to watching it all come together over the next many years.

May 1, 2023 - Couldn't be more different to my previous note. I was expecting this to be tough and tiring - no way. Completely balanced maturing dried fruit, perfectly framed with firm tannins. Hugely moreish, it disappeared in a flash. Hope the remaining bottles are are like this one!

June 29, 2022 - South African-grade burnt rubber and chemical smoke, which I hate, rustic tannins, but enough fruit to make it bearable. Have it with burgers or at a barbecue. It’s actually quite nice despite what I’ve just said - a bruiser though, but mercifully in an old world way. It’s “only” 14%.
