November 24, 2023 - Consistent through the years, a good value, enjoyed while having cheese and appetizers before TG. Could go years

May 13, 2023 - Superb ! No light passes through the wine but this is not the black wine of Cahors ;) Full of fruit and other flavours (ok: cigar box, liquorice, chocolate, vanilla , and orange liqueur )
It seems to benefit from the respect of decanting 5 or 10 minutes before the first attempt at appreciation so that it may then be seen to develop further .2 people found this helpful Comment -

March 3, 2023 - Joel's Tuscan Lunch (The wilds of Kent): Decanted in advance. I'd very much enjoyed the 2018 of this so was looking forward to try this.
Nose gives soft ripe plum, florals, some balsamic and tomato - all very moreish sapid.
Really deep rich on the attack and mid palate, dark plum but fresh and sapid, present but powdery tannins. Perhaps the finish a little light but it had set high expectations. Good value and keen to try more1 person found this helpful Comment
