March 22, 2024 - Nice fruit notes. No where near overly fruity. Slight tannins nice finish but not lingering. Well made. Good wine. Can drink without food

August 21, 2023 - From magnum:
Drinks very good but has the ability to improve and hold for another 7 years...at least in magnum.
This was what 3 of us thought when we drank it a few days ago. Cherry and red berry fruit and spice with some mineral or silky tannins still around. Has the fruit and body for more aging more. -

March 23, 2023 - Still drinks with intensity, youth, complexity and lovely balance for all its hugeness. Benefits from a few hour decant or wait a few years too, but its delicious now
