April 19, 2024 - Wonderful, aromatic, balanced, refined, lovely flavors, aromas of raspberry, cherry, and beautifully balanced with dinner of homemade pizza this evening (Paul Hollywood's crust recipe), this wine was one of the best I've had in quite awhile. Outstanding! 94+

February 10, 2024 - Similar to previous notes, great balance, complex flavors from the blend of grapes, just lacking a bit of grip, drank with Chinese veggies with steak in a dark soy/ginger garlic sauce, 14.5% abv, last bottle on to next vintage, not sure how the wine age further.

February 3, 2024 - Limited notes...ready to drink.
Mineral and vegetal notes, spices...ripe jammy fruit even sirupy, easy drinking and charming, harmonious with a medium finish...hint of bitter dark chocolate. A crowd pleaser.1 person found this helpful Comment -
