    September 19, 2016 - Very consistent with past notes and shows very little evolution vs April 2015 when we tried it last (Papies 89)
    A very modern expression of a wine and a wine that is trying to be a St Emilion style. A good wine well made but a bit generic in style tbh. 88-90

    September 15, 2015 - Quite evolved right now and ready to drink. Sweet and ripe nose with cinnamon, sweet oak, dark plums and cherries with floral notes. Medium-bodied and silky-textured with good balance and length.

    April 19, 2015 - Two very consistent bottles. No decanting (nor do we think its needed).
    To quote our previous note " A very much modern expression of a wine trying to be a St Emilion. Well oaked Plums, spice notes, rich and ripe". 89

    January 29, 2015 - Similar to our previous note 3 months ago. A very much modern expression of a wine trying to be a St Emilion. Well oak.ed Plums, spice notes, rich and ripe. As with most wines of its style and at this age its a bit devout of complexity and in a way charm. Woudl advice ageing and hope. 88-89
