November 10, 2023 - Heady spiced cherry and strawberry aromas. Medium-bodied, with focused red plum flavors supported by dried herbs, smoke, and roasted meat. Tannins are integrated and smooth the finish.

April 9, 2022 - Quite evolved colour, but this might as well be because of the blend.
Very intense and spicy nose with aroma's of black fuit, raspberries, cinnamon, vanilla, cedar, chocolate, fresh figs, liquorice, raisins and smoked hints.
Velvetty soft on the palate with integrated tannins and a very long finish.
Châteauneuf at its best.
Serve with grilled lamb with spices, but most above all: enjoy! -

January 15, 2022 - Secondary aroma's in the nose with spices, vanilla, chocolate and cherry
Soft and velvety start on the palate. Nicely balanced tannins.
Again a lot of secondary aroma's. Chocolate, cedar, dried fruit, vanilla and cherry on alcohol and a very long finish.
This wine is absolutely "a point". Drink now.
The wine matched perfecly wih my döner-dish I made. Spiced meatballs with a basic tomato sauce, Greek yoghurt garnished with some pine nuts (which I accidentally got burnt, but this matched very well with the spices in the wine :-D ) -
