March 6, 2024 - 94/95. 0.375. Has fantastic aromas of blackberries ,black olives, iron, mint, five spice and blueberries! Profound lightly spicy garriguey leathery, lightly earthy, vanilla-ery lacy, satiny ironey blue red and black fruited wine with lovely long refreshing and tapering finish with nice gripping tannin. 14.5%. Drink now with 8-9 hrs aeration or lay down 15-30 yrs no problem.

February 14, 2024 - Under pristine, barely soaked cork. Decanted for an hour to start. Very deep mulberry with a touch of garnet colour. Gobs of spiced red fruit and garrigue on the nose. Secondary notes of licorice, tar, leather and wood-aged mascerated cherry. Heavenly aroma! Full bodied, loads of fruit extract, tart acidity, high tannins and highish alcohol. Overall, big and bodacious but balanced. Also has huge flavours of spirited and spiced red fruit and dried garrigue, new oak, leather, strong black tea and black licorice on the end. Finishes long, fruity, dry and grippy. Serious wine that is seriously good!

February 11, 2024 - Beautiful bouquet with mostly dark berries and good garrigue. On the palate dark berries, firm acidity, some pleasant bitterness and round tannin. Can easily last another decade. Beautiful wine which will show more finesse with more ageing.
