July 4, 2021 - Early drinking window. Has yet to show any tertiary aromas. Colour is deep ruby. Nice intensity with lots of black currant, blackberries, green vegetal notes and a bouquet of herbs. Tannins and acidity does a very well job balancing everything.

June 26, 2021 - Amazing wine, great now but will improve some still imho. Packed with cassis, wild raspberries, pencil shavings, herbs, pepper and a ripe tone of undergrowth. Straightforward fruit with elegance and soft tannins with some ’body building’ attitude. Enjoyed with grilled fillet of beef, summer potato salad, halloumi and truffle bearnaise sauce.

April 26, 2019 - Blackcurrants and bell peppers with earthy minerality, wild blueberry bushes and undergrowth. Clean, balanced Cab Franc without make-up. Really nice wine. Tasted this in 2016 and since it passed me by relatively unnoticed then, I suppose it has improved nicely with aging.
