April 21, 2024 - Gorgeous. Young. Very sulphureous initially after decant - reductive ?

March 9, 2024 - Hervorragende Nase mit viel roten Früchten, Kirschen und Beeren. Röstaromatik und leicht grüne Gewürze. Sehr harmonisch und fesselnd. Im Gaumen samten, fruchtig und mit gut stützender Säure. Tannine sind gut integriert. Am Anfang seines Trinkfensters. Toller Wein!

September 27, 2023 - Although this is infanticide, I was interested to see how the 2020s were, as I bought across the range. It is lovely, but so young and primary. Difficult to pin anything down at this point, it’s on the verge of red/dark fruit maybe a hint of dark cherries. Nice acidity, gentle tannins and I’m sure the complexity will come in time, but very yum already.

September 16, 2023 - Hugely disappointing, I've had some impressive wines from this producer before so was excited for this - but the flavour profile here is fairly simple and one-dimensional with not much beyond the dark-berried fruit, other than a lingering burnt rubber/reductive note in the background that never really clears even with a couple of hours of air. Meh.
