April 3, 2023 - Definitely something different from our Cab/Pinot dominated world of red wine. Signs of age with a transparent hue and hints of bricking. A slightly medicinal herbal edge to the nose and a palate that followed through with hints of black olive/tea reminding me slightly of southern Rhône wine. Needed food, in this case pork ribs. Probably needs drinking up, wifey was not keen on the finish.

December 25, 2021 - Last two from case and the best of the bunch. Purple crimson hue. Nose with hint of bitter chocolate and dark fruits. Long complex fully formed flavours

November 7, 2021 - This was certainly something different for us. We drank it with roast pork. It was dark, thick, dense somehow almost woolly. It had an undertone of dark fruit, possibly mulberry but was also earthy. An intriguing wine.

On the palate, ripe flavors of aforementioned fruit are accented with sweet spice notes, grounded upon underlying minerality. Full bodied and elegantly crafted; modest acidity provides ample lift to carry through to long evenly distributed finish. This is well resolved as tannins are fully integrated and in the sweet spot. Drink now.
