August 22, 2023 - Deep red. Little sediment.
Sweet developed shiraz nose. On the lighter side.
Round, soft, light weight. Clean, developed, mature. Lacks power and length, and doesn’t substitute elegance for the lack of richness and power. Which leaves it kinda nowhere. Well made. But… Not a trough I will return to. -

January 13, 2023 - Double decant for a couple of hours then drunk over 2 - 3 hours. Improved over that time. See Evanqian or Chateau du Fey notes from 2016. Deep violet hue. Great nose with perfume and some spice. Dark fruits and spice, only a touch of pepper. Smooth texture - tannins present but smooth, long finish.
