July 24, 2023 - Medium red with a bit of brown. Nice secondary nose, earthy red cherry, tobacco, old wood and leather nose. Dry cherry, spice and berry flavours and a long dry finish.
Not at all warm or ripe, in a very nice place.1 person found this helpful Comment -

June 28, 2020 - Medium red. Medium plus intense spicy, cherry compote and red flower nose. Delicious cherry and cassis flavours and a beautiful long dry finish.
Drank next to the 06, this was more floral, spicy and cherry fruit driven. -

October 24, 2019 - You need to open it a couple of hours before drinking - the wine has a lot of depth - a great balance - and a very long and interesting aftertaste. You get cherries but actually also a lot of black currant - you also get leather and some spices - a very pleasing wine that still has a lot of potential - we are happy to start at 93 - this wine will still develop further for a number of years.
