January 21, 2024 - Root Day - decanted off about a teaspoon of fine sediment. Dark purple/garnet core out to a purple tinged rim. Little sign of development. On the nose there’s tobacco, leather, damp earth, spice, chocolate and dark plum. On the palate the tobacco and leather are the first flavours followed by dark fruit and spice. The fruit and spice continue into the long finish with the leather and tobacco. This is surprisingly undeveloped with the exception of the soft but present ripe tannins. Slightly disappointed with it as there’s not a ton of complexity showing. It seems a bit simple.
Over the course of four hours it smoothed out even more with some dark chocolate showing up in the finish.1 person found this helpful Comment -

August 12, 2023 - In Its optimal drinking window. Nose has become softer compared to few years back. . Palette as well. Vanilla, chocolate. Very nice. Can easily hold a few more years as tannins are still alive on the back palette.
Served this with bbq’ed deer meat. Very nice pairing. -

May 12, 2022 - This has become such a beautifully matured wine. Color is a vibrant deep ruby. Red/black forrest fruits on the nose, mingled with some vanilla, dark chocolate and sweet spices, cloves. The palette is sweet fruit galore with enough acidity to keep things in check. Well integrated oak and tannins, delivering a lingering creamy and slightly spicy aftertaste. Love this. (94+)

November 11, 2021 - Stevig wijntje, heel donker, kruidig, warm. Wel tamelijk veel heel fijn bezinksel in de fles ( beetje modder achtig ).
Mooi -

October 13, 2018 - Still needs a good long decant. But the dark berry fruit runs deep. I’d hold off a few more years if possible. 2022-2027
