    June 4, 2021 - Nice Malbec. Enjoying with a blend of sushi, tempura & smoked sea bass. If I can find will try again!

    April 17, 2021 - Drank with a rare aged steak seized on the BBQ - a perfect match. Full bodied, ripe cherries and plums, rose, violet, pepper, licorice, chewing tobacco. Wine is good with 2-hours aeration but can still age for a while. A superb value.

    December 9, 2020 - Drank over two nights, first night it was decanted for an hour.
    Color: Thick red/purple oil.
    Nose: Cherries, blue currant, chalk.
    Was still a little hot after an hour in the decanter, settled in nicely. medium body, medium+ acid. Lighter than I expected, tastes of red fruit, pepper, prune. Medium/long finish. I enjoyed it more on the second day, very smooth. I have another bottle, will be waiting another 2+ years.

    October 20, 2019 - Half-ripe blackberry and black cherry with early kalamata olive and smoked sea salt. Jasmine notes midway. Long finish with enjoyable acidity. Gorgeous deep garnet color. Paired nicely with Snowdonia Black Bomber.
