  April 7, 2024 - On the decline, as expected, but still worth drinking, solid QPR.

  October 31, 2021 - Long neglected in my cellar, this inexpensive cabernet was surprisingly good. Soft and round with a bit of off-note in the bouquet but very solid vinous flavour and good body.

  December 26, 2017 - This should have been consumed years ago, but oh well, interesting experiment. Smells like fig cookies and coffee. Soft tannins, some mild volatile acidity, but not too bad. Plum cake and black cherry jam with coffee. Tired a muted a bit, but not terrible.

  December 29, 2015 - At this stage of its decline (this is a bottom-end '09, after all), it can't decide if it's Cherry Coke or pipe tobacco. Extremely disjointed, with very little to offer anymore. For L this was just short of a sink pour; for me it was a novelty given the memories we made with early vintages from this winery during our newspaper days.

  December 24, 2014 - I had tried this wine 18 months ago and liked it a lot more at that time. The nose is fine, but I found the latest bottle too syrupy, almost like cough medicine. It may be that the bottle is in decline. Still enjoyable with Italian seafood on Xmas Eve, just not as good as last time.
