October 3, 2023 - Intense of blackcurrant, even while counting.
Fruit flavours have mellow slightly, black cherry, as well as blackcurrant, smoky savoury with a long finish, drinking very well at the moment -

October 30, 2022 - Dried cherry, sl balsamic, blackcurrant I said has mellowed over a year, more balanced, longer finish. Still has good structure

September 4, 2022 - A short decant to allow it to open up. Was initially to astringent at 12*. Black fruit and spice (clove and bay) on the nose. Blackberry and cassis on the palette giving way to a tannic grip with sweet fruit. Very good value.
