November 13, 2021 - 醒酒半小时，中宝石红色，闻香是成熟的肉味，皮革，橡木桶甜美奶香，草莓和李子香气，泥土气息，以及橡木桶的烘烤味，入口酸度中高，很明亮的感觉，酒液甜美风格，单宁细腻如粉，红黑混合的果香，浓郁的法桶香草味，有一点点酒精感，余味是香草奶油，果味，满口奶香，甜美悠长。香气漂亮的一款酒，非常直接，新世界风格，醒酒一小时就完全打开了，前中后段的表现完整，细节精致，口感平衡，结构比波尔多右岸名庄稍小一些，但是风格更活泼，容易亲近。

September 1, 2021 - Light red. Very floral, medium light red fruit, warm earth and red cherry nose. Dry floral red fruit flavours and a medium weight dry floral, herbal finish.
An elegant light Merlot. -

July 15, 2021 - Brief note. Similar impressions to in my previous TN. Drinking with savoury, tobacco and preserved plums notes on its optimal plateau. Oak, acids and alcohol (13.5% ABV) well integrated. Mellow and enjoyable on a cold winter’s evening.
