November 29, 2022 - Very happy with this. Some complexity but beautifully easy to drink and enjoy. Drink now and the next 3 years?

October 11, 2020 - My first bottle was about 3 months ago and I was just underwhelmed and couldn’t think of anything particularly good or bad to say about it. This second bottle was much more interesting (maybe root day last time versus flower day this???) - with some lovely strawberry flavours, great balance from integrated tannins and nicely judged acidity. Bottled under screwcap I cannot see any rush to drink this...

September 24, 2017 - On open pretty thin so I let it sit for 1.5 hours. Much better now. Nose of strawberry, raspberry, anise, pine, candy, violet, roses, faint shoe polish, faint rubber. Drinking slightly bitter, cassis, cherry, oak, finish Sherry and red fruits even if a bit shallow. Acidity and tannins makes me believe you can sit on this wine for a few more years. Leaves an astringent sensation. An alright wine.
