  October 31, 2020 - Nose: A funky medicinal smell which eases slightly with time. Notes of varnish, wet leaves/ pepper.
  
  Palate: An abundance of dark, sweet and tangy fruit. Mainly blackberry and blackcurrant. There is a jaminess to this wine, an excess of sweetness. There is also wet earth/ leaves and a hint of licorice present.
  
  The finish is laced with varnish, spice, and is slightly overbearing.
  This is a very full flavoured wine that would suit a similar dish, a full on stew or tagine. Personally i think it is too sweet and a bit unbalanced.

  August 31, 2019 - Purple red, still very youthful in appearance. Meaty, sweet leather, white pepper nose.Very smooth/supple tannins; peppery, sweet leather. A lovely wine at its peak.

  June 27, 2019 - Dark black-plum red. Nose of soft leather, liquorice, barnyard, roses, wet cardboard, umami with an edge of Iodine. Medium-full bodied, tannins softening but still present, leather, forest berries, woodland undergrowth. More powerful than its 13.5% suggests. Good with robust-flavoured food. Excellent length.
