  December 14, 2023 - Lovely and feminine. Slightly stemmy, in a good way. 13.5% but seems lower.

  October 27, 2023 - A well made wine with a lot of fruit - it is cherries, strawberries and raspberries - also some spices - the wine is well balanced - but not a long aftertaste - we end up at 92.

  June 6, 2023 - Very similar experience to previous bottles. It surprises me each time at the paleness of the colour and definitely a duskiness to this now. I don't get much nose from it. It's deceptively gentle on the palate with an initial flush of red summer fruit yielding to a more pronounced acidic cherry (?) finish. There's a sense of some depth to the wine and a little bit of length.
  I'm still undecided as to whether there's anything more to come from these or whether they'll just gently fade from here. One left to see.

  March 19, 2022 - Colour: ruby red, rather dark for a PN.
  Nose: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, clove, pepper, sandalwood...very rich and quite complex.
  Palate: smooth, fresh (good acidity), long and with a good body (chewier than your avarage PN) with red fruit and spices. A very nice bottle of wine.
  Will hold for a few years, possibly even get better.
