91 Points

Sunday, February 18, 2024 - A blend of 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc. 14.2% ABV. Half-bottle. Decanted for four hours in a small decanter. Dark purple colour. Black currant, dark cherry, blueberry, blackberry, bitter chocolate, coffee, earth, spices, vanilla, lead pencil, and gravelly minerality, with good, medium-level acidity, ripe, round tannin, and great persistence. Ripe, and loosely structured, yet tight and too young to drink now. Consistent on day two. For mid-term drinking, maybe 2029 to 2042. 91(?)
