  January 22, 2022 - Good richness and depth, all black fruit, some enticing herbal notes that refrain from being vegetal. Slightly drying finish. Good now, still reasonably fresh.

  September 30, 2021 - Dark rich color with dark berry fruit and a hint of jamminess. Past peak but not over the hill, and consisistent with notes over the last two years from other CTers: drink sooner than later.

  May 30, 2020 - It has lasted well even 2 years outside the recommended drinking window. 20 minutes of breathing released the wine. Very smooth with a medium long after taste. Well balanced acidity if anything the after taste is maybe on the short side

  January 17, 2019 - Very fresh, not showing much in the way of aged characteristics at all. But as such, and compared to an 06 earlier this summer which was full of beautiful mature syrah complexity, it was a disappointment. At peak and will only fade away from here.

  January 15, 2019 - Clear light red with pink edges. Very fresh nose, herbs, red cherry, strawberry and a bit of earthiness. Spicy red cherry flavours and a pretty balanced light finish.
  
  Very elegant and fresh. At or near it's peak.
