September 20, 2020 - Try decanting as the acid and tannins dominate. Fruit is there but secondary.

August 15, 2018 - Medium to dark purple with a slightly garnet tinge. Cherry berry and earthy tones with tobacco. Pallet is sharp and acid fruit but with purpose. Quite a long finish with good acid and tannins.

September 18, 2017 - Ripe black fruits, toasted vanilla pod, spicy tobacco and graphite nose. Palate echoed the nose with lifted acidity and tight structure. Entry is not well defined, transiting to mid-palate is a tad harsh, even after two hours in the decanter. A spicy blue fruits finish with dry tannins. Lacking some balance in the structure.

June 10, 2017 - Ruby-red, wooden and leather-scents. Medium-full body. Nice, smooth tannins, fruity notes, and good acidity, yet with a bit more alcohol than should.
