  This wine continues to drink very well with notes similar to my last tasting in 2019. Concentrated dark fruit with notes of plum, black raspberry, cassis, forest floor, herbs with hint of spice. Nicely balanced with long satisfying finish.

  Rich, delicious dark raspberry fruit with licorice and leathery flavors, excellent structure, fully mature, very soft, long finish, ample acidity

  Not as powerful as a typical Saxum but that's expected because of the vintage. Nonetheless, a lovely, well balanced wine that yet again shows that top producers made great wines in this challenging vintage. Great now and will probably be at peak for another 2-3 years

  Everything's there for a full bodied fruit forward wine, but probably average for a Saxum.

  Very good. Thought this was going to rock me but it did not. Smooth, full-bodied, not much of a nose, average finish.
