July 25, 2023 - A 'Lost Cellar' wine found deep in a corner of my cellar this wine opened in good shape with a still deep colour and a mature nose of dark plums, blackberry and dark raspberries with touches of charcoal and liquorice. The palate is nicely rounded and while the finish is a little attenuated it remains a very pleasant bottle of Merlot.

April 2, 2021 - Deep dark ruby, dense.
Sweet berries, plums, fruitcake, chocolate.
Soft and silky up front, notable acidity and fine tannins on the finish. Black, red and blue berries, plums, sweet cherry, chocolate, lightly earthy, hints of tar spice, smooth and beautifully balanced. Delicious drinking, definitely ready now.1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 25, 2016 - Improved since 2013. a very nice St Emillion but not exceptional, good structure, still nice tannins and Very nice nose - Cassis licorice blueberry. A little bit smokey? What will this do in 6 months?
