November 26, 2022 - Dark red fruit, black cherry, some herbs and wood on the nose. The medium to full-bodied palate continues with the same, adding some spiciness, blackcurrants and dark red berries, as well as a good dose of acidity. Medium but grippy tannins and long finish, tapering towards the acids. Quite powerful but still balanced and drinkable, with intense fruit and good structure. Some slight tertiary tones are starting to emerge, and this is now drinking well, but will still keep and evolve.

September 10, 2022 - Beautiful soft tannins, decent fruit, and great tertiary flavors starting to emerge. This certainly seems open for business and in a very nice drinking window now.

November 22, 2020 - Following on from my note of 2 1/2 years ago, this is developing brilliantly, with a little more of everything on display. This was a PnP that was at its best during the final glass. Plenty in reserve here, but also plenty to enjoy now (and since release, actually). For its value and beauty, this is easily highly recommended+.
