January 12, 2024 - Off the beaten track: The nose here is completely stunning grabbing your attention immediately and really doesn’t let it go. Lots of umami, soy sauce, cured meat, crushed, fragrant red berries ; the palate holds everyting the nose promises. Lovely juicy, fleshy fruit, mineral and savory, complex. Really powerful but not heavy at all. Fantastic wine. 18.5+/20

June 19, 2021 - Mature but lively appearance; very attractive nose, open and expressive, lifted but with good depth, crushed red berries, beef stock and flowers, spicy schist; fresh and youthful palate, cool and slender, minerally and energetic but relatively dry; tight but complete finish, very good length.
