  March 16, 2024 - Dark ripe cherries, leather, coffee, black olives, christmas cake, tobacco, iron, and wet soil. This was rather tertiary but very well alive with soft tannins and good balance. Very delicious and easy to drink

  January 26, 2024 - Medium deep brick red
  Aromas of cassis, coffee, blackberry jam, animal fur, baked earth and scorched wood.
  Vital and firm tannins. Blackcurrant acids and walnut bitterness.
  Medium body.
  Aromas of juniper wood, pine needle, sloe, medicinal herbs, black pepper, plum jam, cassis and stock cube.
  A lively, structure-driven yet fruity rather young wine with dark berries, typical spicy and earthy aromas and a long finish that has resemblance of blood and iron. Drink within 10 years.
  Tasted alongside, Opus One 1997, and the matched wine is mature and has slightly sweeter fruit. The present wine is yummy and beautifully balanced but not as good in comparison.

  February 1, 2022 - PNP. Amber rim developing, nice ruby colour at its core. Red fruits in the nose with a little perfume, which was a nice surprise. Sweet entry, nice fruits, medium body and tannins were surprisingly soft. Wine gained some weight and depth in the glass. Good length on the finish. Exceeded expectation

  July 16, 2021 - Peut-être pas à son apogée. Très long en bouche. Très complexe. Encore pas mal de fruit et de tannins. Avec Magrets de canard sur feu de bois avec Dominic et Marie Claire

  March 21, 2021 - Some mild bricking on the edges. Interesting nose with some off fruit flavors (slight smoke and savory herbs). Notes of blackberry and dark cherry with some saddle leather, bacon fat, and tapenade. Still plenty of dark fruit on the open, with oak that had resolved over time. Nice acid profile with some interesting minerality. Wine seems to be at or just past peak.
