February 18, 2023 - Just lovely right now. Balanced and complex. Hints of tannins, but just enough to be complementary. Way above what I remember.

December 20, 2020 - On opening, definitely tasted a bit aged. Raisiny. Lots of cola on the nose which I’ve never identified before. Plums on the palate. Improved with a little air, went well with lamb roast for dinner, but had really hoped this would be showing more youthfully. Think I’ll give my last bottle another year to see if it comes together
