December 31, 2022 - Fresh nose with red fruit, cherries, milk chocolate, a touch of licorice and herbs
Sweet appearance, red fruit, high acidity, a bit of toffee, herbs, licorice, developed flavours, medium aftertaste.

June 6, 2022 - I babied this in my cellar for 7 years only for it to be monumentally corked. What a shame.

February 5, 2022 - Ruby red with a darker edge. Flowery and esrthy to the nose. Soft tanins, berry with a slight bitterness at the end. Long aftertaste of grapes.
