April 18, 2024 - A favourite from Tuscany
February 24, 2024 - Really good super Tuscany
November 11, 2023 - Drank a glass at a restaurant not sure if bottle open long. Some plums and cherry but not giving much. Nothing special. Closed down with some tannins at end. Needs years maybe

T7 (could be an 8)
September 9, 2021 - Aiolos En Primeur Tasting (Aiolos HQ): The wine is a blend of 50% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon
The wine shows bright ruby colour.
The wine shows clarity, red fruit, currants, cherries, mint freshness, the oak is refined, smooth, nice and subtle, sweet spice frame.
In the palate, the wine shows strength, more pronounced mint, the fruit is in the back. The wine shows tight tannins, high acidity, a bit aggressive and "painful" on the tongue, long finish.
Its a bit unforgiving and even unpleasant on its own now
September 9, 2021 - Somewhat muted nose which needs som time to reveal dark fruit, some red flowers with spice, wet stone and cedar. Soft initially, gains traction and bite in the mid palate leading to a medium finish. I would like more weight but its very young overall and somewhat clumsy. 89-91
September 5, 2021 - Good dark fruit from this Bordeaux mix - Merlot, Cab and Cab Franc. Quite tough at this point but think it will resolve into a pleasing wine.
