June 29, 2022 - Intensely smoky and gamey on first opening, suggesting it’s well evolved, but quickly opens up to rich, bright, perfumed red fruit (cherry, strawberry), very recognisably Calera, still with enough acidity and a firm backbone to lend structure to the ripeness; still plenty of life in this and no hurry to drink up.
[Update, day 2: the smokiness has softened to a brambly edge to the fruit, with palate even livelier; marginally better today and very, very drinkable.] -

May 25, 2021 - Bright cherries, raspberries and a little earth. Smooth but plenty of acidity to hold this a few more years. Drinkable now but wish I held longer.

February 2, 2021 - I like this wine now more than I did 4 years ago. It has mellowed and come together with age. Ample fruit, moderate acidity, light earthiness. Drinks well and held up on the second day.

December 7, 2020 - Not profound but lovely. Starting to show some bottle age but I think it will still be good for a couple years. Needs airing. Great dinner wine.

September 6, 2020 - Ruby red in color. Lovely aromas of candied red berries, florals, hint of forest floor. Silky in mouth showing sweet crushed raspberries and cherries, hint of savory spice, medium acidity, no tannins and a medium finish. Nothing spectacular, just great QPR.
