  November 2, 2023 - Abv 13.5%; 60% Cab S/ 30% Merlot/ 10% Petit Verdot; £50
  Now fully integrated, there were mellow black fruits, infused with spice and underpinned with some pronounced supporting tannins. A little silky and viscous in texture, on the mid-palate black chocolate developed right the way through to an impressive length of finish. If I had a criticism perhaps it was a little too austere and didn’t quite exhibit the depth I was searching for. Good nonetheless. CHP 90 pts

  June 13, 2021 - To the wine snobs out there: you've been had! This bottle would be excellent even at twice the price. Balanced and good company. Can go in the fridge if you'd like. Goes well with Lebanese and western cuisine. Very handy when you don't feel like overthinking it :)

  March 30, 2019 - Decanted 3 hours. Bordeaux blend mostly cab and merlot. Medium bodied and fresh with good acidity. Leather blackcurrants and tart red berries. Easy and smooth. A little angular in the finish. Drink now to 2023.

  June 16, 2017 - Wanna "Heroic Vineyards"? Visit Lebanon; 6/14/2017-6/18/2017 (Beirut - Lebanon): Served by the glass from a new bottle. Too obvious, every element goes in its own way. There is no connection at all. What should be exoticism becomes fatigue. Is my taste tired at this point?
  In fact I bought a bottle of this label but the 99 so ...
  
  Servida por copas de una botella nueva. Demasiada evidente, cada elemento va a su aire. No hay conexión. Lo que debería ser exotismo se transforma en cansancio. A estas alturas ¿tengo el paladar fatigado?
  De hecho he comprado una botella de esta etiqueta pero del 99.

  November 21, 2015 - Retailer tasting (@ The factory): In the bouquet dark berries, licorice, laurel, smoke and toast. Same impressions on the palate, some sweetness, ok acidity and slightly drying tannin. Ok and concentrated wine. 86+
