September 22, 2022 - Really enjoyable fruit-forward new world grenache. Shockingly primary at 9 years old (screw cap probably helps). Alcohol was well hidden and the oak usage for me was just right/goldilocks level. Excellent QPR.

May 7, 2018 - Black cherry, mulberry, pomegranate nose with a dusted chocolate backbone. Slightly redder on the palate - red cherry, raspberry, black currant, mint. Generous acidic bite in the finish. Great QPR. Would happily make it a daily quaff. Still quietly preferring the ‘14.
