November 19, 2023 - Popped and poured. Modern, new world style but well made. Black currant, olives, licorice, smoke come through. The palate is full bodied, lush layered with a touch of heat. Very youthful. Many years ahead. Question is whether it can gain complexity as it ages.

December 28, 2021 - Beautiful blend of sangiovese and merlot. Tastes of blackberries, plum, and leather with smooth tannins

October 25, 2021 - Medium purple in colour. Medium+ nose intensity with notes of cassis, black fruits, black currant, spices, chocolate. Medium+ acidity and tannin. Though youthful, the wine is rounded and balanced and no harsh tannin. The wine can be drank early or cellar. Medium+ body more to full body and long finish. The wine is joint partnership with Robert Mondavi, similar to the partnership with Opus + Robert Mondavi in US.

September 30, 2021 - Medium deep ruby. More robust nose of blackberry, oak and herbs. Dry, rounded acidity, initially taut tannins that mellowed quickly. Medium full body. Very good balance (initial tannic rush). Long finish. Deeper lusher bottle than the Baron.
