June 23, 2023 - Great nose and well balanced on palate. Finish was a little disappointing. Got a bit sour after about 15 seconds.

June 20, 2021 - Dark, inky purple. Closed on the nose. Blackcurrant, prunes, touch oak, fine tannins. Long finish. Probably at peak.

September 2, 2018 - Lovely nose of cassis, black currants, pepper, mint, and a whiff of toasty vainillin. Silky and gracious on the palate with enough nerve to highlight its amplitude. Drying finish that makes you go for another sip. Fresh and full of life at 10 years of age.

August 18, 2018 - Drank over 2 days. Night in the fridge. Best on day 2. Needs air. Deep dark black/purple'ish color. Dark berries, black currant, black berry. Dense and quite powerfull. Good balance. Medium to long finish. Always a good performance for this producere.
