  February 4, 2024 - I opened this half-bottle (bought on sale) to use as a sauce wine…but after tasting it…immediately used something else! While it has a very restrained nose of black and blue (plum) fruit and tobacco, the creamy body and dry but silkily gliding finish seemed in beautiful harmony. I enjoyed this throughout a pleasant, leisurely steak dinner at home.

  November 4, 2023 - Slightly more tight and austere than last time although double decanted. Crushed red fruit, perfumed cassis on nose. Marked tannins. Balance is there. Opened up some during evening but I would let this one rest a year or two before trying again.

  September 1, 2023 - Savoury, meaty, muted plummy fruit, slight red fruit note, sweet spice, very slight caramel. Juicy, more red fruited on the plate, savoury with yeast extract, tight tannic grip though this still retains a little freshness, Non intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish, Hmm
