    August 12, 2021 - good. Nice and smooth and fruity

    October 16, 2020 - Screw cap so still quite young. This didn't really open up until 4 or 5 hours. I would recommend giving this 4 hours minimum in the decanter before serving otherwise people may turn their nose up at it.
    Nose of rose petals, blueberries and mint. Mouth still quite tannic. Well balanced, substantial - extracted cassis, beef broth and washed rind cheese. Great with steak.
    Good medium length finish with dried berries, wood, tomato leaves, slight bell peppers with excellent acid.
    Absolutely no sediment so unlikely to develop major tertiary flavors. That being said, there's enough body and with screw cap should still delight for years to come.

    August 30, 2020 - Hoped for a bit more here, Day 1 very salty/earthy and not a lot of fruit. Day 2 the dark fruits became present with added balsamic and bell pepper notes. A bit brutish on the attack, perhaps a couple more years tames down this bird.

    June 1, 2020 - somewhat nondescript tangy cab.

    July 27, 2019 - solid dark fruit and garrigue; a bit of bell pepper and black tea; more wood influence than i prefer, which makes this a bit ponderous; likely more suited to meat than my pasta with red sauce.
