November 26, 2023 - Lasting very well. Tannins have softened while still retaining the strong fruit background. Will still improve further with ongoing cellaring.

October 19, 2022 - A single bottle. Somewhat mute nose, lovely crunchy tannins, Rhone like plummy flavours and mineral on the palate. Lovely flavour and weight of fruit. There is finesse here. Will improve for several years yet as the tannins subside. No bargain yet fairly priced.

July 26, 2019 - Drinking very well after a long decant. More rhone like than in its youth. Calm deep dark and seductive. Still reasonably primary so plenty of time to unwind in the cellar - but enjoyable now.
