December 26, 2023 - Very nice. Complex nose with hints of licorice, leather, still fruity, ripe red. Starts to colour orange, tannines are ripening, nice acidity. Perfect.

January 13, 2023 - Drinking really well still. Bright and fresh but starting to show some integration. Crushed red cherries with a hint of licorice. Nice flutter of florality. A pleasure to drink.

September 10, 2022 - Nicely aged showing some browning at edges. Cherry, berry fruits apparent but this is a complex, well-integrated wine. Leather, smoke. Nice finish and great with food.
