March 23, 2024 - Ready to drink. Loads of fruit, a little sweetness and a slight bitterness on the finish. Well balanced and delicious now, if not exactly 'classic' Bordeaux. Yum!

January 7, 2024 - Beautifull young red Bordeaux. Accessible, smooth and lots of red fruit and a bit of vanilla on the palate.

September 6, 2023 - Day 1: Cork broke in two while opening; which is unusual for such a young wine. Rich, dark and very tannic. Tastes of wet stones and iron-rich soils (slight metallic and a short finish). Quite dry with densely packed red & black fruit.
Day 2: Aged cigar tobacco, cinnamon, Belgian chocolate and a sweet note of boysenberry / blackberry jam. Feels a bit thicker but the tannins have mellowed out nicely.
Overall: A young bruiser which will probably last about 10 - 12 years in the cellar.1 person found this helpful Comment -

February 13, 2023 - Still in need of a couple of hours in the decanter, because 8 is still young, but there’s nothing forbidding about this wine, it’s all dark plums and crunchy fruit (was blue 3 years ago, feels a bit more purple now).
If I could venture a slight criticism, there is a touch of hot alcohol on the end, but then 2015 is a ripe vintage, and I’m not the best to pass judgement on that, as cooler years are more my métier.1 person found this helpful Comment
