January 24, 2024 - Damp leather, still some dark red fruit on the nose. Tannins have mellowed over the years for an extemeely well balanced and delicate taste. Allow only 30min decant then cover - low-medium sediment on the decant

January 4, 2024 - Dodgy looking bottle from auction for £160 and boy was it worth it. The wine is just perfectly balanced across the red fruits, earth and tobacco box flavours and acidity. Beautiful wine and really struggled to share!

September 16, 2023 - The most complex nose with mature fruit, tobacco , coffee and vanilla. Low tannins , imperceptible alcohol , mod acid.
Enjoyed immensely with an aged ribeye.
Ready to drink. -

August 24, 2023 - Popped and poured and this was ready to go 20 min later. A wine drinking at its absolute peak. Fully resolved tannins with exceptional balance and length. These should be enjoyed within the next 3 years. Revisit 2025

August 23, 2023 - Very well balanced. Good color. Appealing nose. Drinking well. No decant. Probably has 5-8 more years.
