  March 2, 2024 - Medium body, transparent, mature cherry colour with bricky rims, 14% abv. Delicate aroma of blue and red fruits, flowers, wet oak and tobacco background. Rounding palate of sour cherry, plum and juicy acidity following by grippy tannins and long, still fresh finish. Complex but not too rich, elegant and balanced wine. Food friendly, well paring to grilled chicken stuffed by rice. Serve 18ºC - 20ºC. Still requires two hours aeration. Drink now and the next decade.

  January 1, 2024 - Clear brick red with lighter edges. Tart upon pop and pour, but lovely after an hour's decant, and even better with food. The acidity of the wine paired very well with the fattiness of braised short ribs.

  November 22, 2023 - This is drinking so well now. Not the most complex but balanced. Could improve with bottle age or air. Delicious.

  October 20, 2023 - Muted nose and fruit over several hours of decanting. Taste/check/drink over the next few years or now.
