May 8, 2021 - Terrific wine.. Unfortunately the last of this that has been in my cellar for 6y. Wonderful strawberry notes and balance. Airy and feminine. Incredible value.

March 7, 2021 - The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom, forest floor, cedar, red currant and blackberry. It tastes like strawberry jam and cedar. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.

October 27, 2019 - One hour decant. Has a medium garnet-brick red in colour. Nose of earthy plums and red cherries with some garrigue and a hint of wet tobacco leaf. On the palate, there are some peppery red currants and plums with some secondary notes of licorice and tobacco as well. Medium+ bodied with a medium finish. Seems to be in its ideal drinking window now. Last tasted May 2016.
