April 15, 2024 - It is quite reluctant to give progress at this point! Please read my previous notes!

February 18, 2024 - Heavy red fruit that transitioned to dark fruit after longer decant. Surprisingly bright given the age. I wish there was more heft behind it but drank very well after short decant.

May 13, 2023 - Strong nose of peppery, thick skin dark fruits! Translucent dark red in colour! Incredibly smooth texture on the palate!

April 10, 2023 - Tertiary notes on the nose and in the mouth. Decanted for one hour; drank over the next four hours. Did get better as time went along. No sediment and perfect cork. Solid, not spectacular.

July 14, 2022 - Better than 6 years ago. Now more complex. Balanced wine with nice blue fruit and a bit of dried fruit in the nose. No hint if tile color. Still fresh and young. It doesn’t display note of aged quality at this stage perhaps another 5 years.
