September 17, 2022 - Still tasty, but in decline. Acidity sticks out a bit more now.

October 30, 2021 - Nice wine with dark red fruits, acidity +, dusty slightly drying tannins, vanilla, coconut, good mineral backbone with dried scrub herbs.
Some dried dark fruit component as well. Tea on the finish. Medium length finish.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 24, 2019 - Still needs a 30-40 minute decant to open up but similar results to previous TN. Good balance and concentration.

July 9, 2019 - I agree with previous TN, this did take a little time to open up. Nose was initially mute and lacked vitality on the palate. However, less than an hour later this was a delightful wine. Sweet spice and dark red fruits on the nose. Luscious, elegant mouthfeel. Really well balanced. Paired with braised then bbq pork and rice pilaf.
