  Drinking well. Good fruit with restrained, traditional ‘Old World’ character and style. Rich, restrained, black fruit with some spice and good length. Well worth keeping to this point. It still has life. Well received at a group tasting. 90+

  Pretty much as my earlier notes. Lovely fruit on the fragrant nose quite soon after opening. Quite ‘Old World’ cab with style, elegance, fresh blackberry/blackcurrant fruit and acidity, smooth tannins, good length, and spice with dark plums later. My wife identified it immediately (blind) as Old World Cabernet Sauvignon. Very good on its own and excellent with food. It is ageing very well. I have raised the ‘end date’ to 2023+. It may live longer. 90+

  Pretty much as my note of 1st November 2018. Plenty of sweet blackberry/blackcurrant fruit with acidity, length, and some spice later. The smooth tannins made it a good partner with sirlon steak. Not a complex palate but it is ageing pretty well. Next day, it was juicy with good fruit but perhaps a but simple. The suggested drinking end date of 2018 was too soon. I have raised it to 2021+.
