December 2, 2022 - Still going strong. Medium+ body, lovely dark fruit. 5 years after the last one, but hasn't lost it touch. I feel it has some years to go, but I wouldn't expect it to evolve further.

April 15, 2021 - Needs an hour at least on opening. Lush dark red. Coffee cream dominant on the nose, bouquet is still stellar. Full velvety dark fruit on the palate, coffee still sneaking through with a touch of vanilla. Subdued acidity, nice tannin balance. Alcohol is there but is not intrusive. Really v good still.
