November 13, 2023 - Not an Ordinary Monday (Lorenzo's , London): Not sure here. Either the bottle was off or this wine is sufferings from a voluptuous and over ripe youth of the 2005 vintage. ad a bit of VA on the nose all along, the palate was harsh and unwelcoming and the fruit felt burnt. The notes below don't seem to agree with our experience so we will not rate and blame it on the bottle rater the wine but if indeed this was the right experience we would worry dearly or this wine. NR from us but it we had to 85

May 2, 2023 - Medium body, I thought it was ready after a decant of one hour. There was a degree of black fruit, blueberries and damson, but there were also lingering grippy tannins and a hard edginess.

December 1, 2022 - Still a bit on the young side with the acidity and tannins going into a battle with some air. An intense wine with ripe fruits with the focus on black fruit. A bit too expensive unfortunately.

September 25, 2022 - Initially hard with green fruit; softened after 2 hours; then sweet elegant blackberry with long balanced smooth finish.
