  March 14, 2021 - Fading now, not much staying power over 2 nights. Mostly dry tobacco and cedar wood. Very thin thread of dark purple berries, but only just. A little jammy on second night. Drink up quickly.

  December 21, 2019 - Really nice, aged well and developed a rich balanced dark fruit. Medium lenght and very nice on the nose with sweet blackberry fruit.

  September 1, 2018 - A really nice drop. Having sat on these a couple of years I figured I should give one a go.
  I echo Dan's TN from Aug 2016 showing plenty of bramble fruit, bright acidity softish tannin and decent length to the finish. On day 2 mine showed a background note of port but morein that its the same varietal rather than the wine tiring/becoming a little ox'd.
  Lovely wine drinking great now and should go on for medium term drinking.

  August 7, 2016 - Drank over 2 sittings a couple of days apart.
  
  On day 1 this took on an almost Medoc like character. The oak has settled down with only a hint of vanilla. Bold bramble fruit, tobacco and a hint of mint. Very nicely balanced soft tannins and smooth acidity. Medium/long finish.
  
  Second sitting 2 days later this has developed a more port like character. Still the bramble fruit but now it is sweeter and the finish much longer with brighter acidity. Very good
