April 20, 2024 - This bottle was a bit past prime with stewed fruit flavors and an alcoholic finish. Some black cherry and leather was fighting to the forefront. Was better with food, and this bottle in 2020. Drink now.

April 19, 2024 - Nez café, prune, fruits noirs. En bouche c est chaleureux. Les tanins sont encore très présents mais pas astringents. Longueur moyenne. Bien fait.

December 26, 2023 - Showing some age, brownish colour and dusty nose for the the first few hours post decanting. Dark fruit dominant on opening with black liquorice notes. Began to evolve 2 hours post decant into a brighter mix of cherry and plums. High acidity and heat (15% alcohol!), big, and meaty wine, very food friendly. Long finish. 18/20.

March 28, 2022 - Medium red color. Aromas of red fruits, violets, licorice and underbrush. Ripe, nicely structured fruit with very good depth and length. Integrated and supple on the palate. Firmly in the sweet spot of its maturity.
