    May 1, 2021 - Fantastic wine right now. As close to a perfect wine it can be!
    Not giving it 100 p for one reason only; I still wanna dream for a better wine.

    February 14, 2021 - Vibrant ruby with crimson tones. Fresh springtime nose with shades of cherry blossom followed by subtle hints of tobacco. Deep and smooth taste. Long finish with freshly split spruce, tobbaco and dates. Great though this wine is if I'm honest I was hoping for a little more; it never really captured the magic I was hoping for.

    Drunk as an accompaniment to Beef Wellington, Dauphinois potatoes and asparagus.

    June 1, 2020 - Offene dunkle Beeren, etwas Cassis, etwas metallisch-salziges, Waldboden und Kräuter, Paprik. Ein toller Bordeaux
    BoW 17.5/20

    July 19, 2019 - Rather bland - both out of the bottle and after opening for an hour or two. Very mellow / weak tannins. Meh.

    May 17, 2018 - Mid-garnet; berry, toast, terroir, cocoa; mid-body; semi-tight, balanced finish; good fruit; some style for the money. 38 euros
