October 4, 2023 - Needs another 5 years at least. Decanted for two hours and was still very stiff.

October 6, 2022 - 1st tast I found Disappointing . Haliday rated it as 97 points and drink by 2050 so I was expecting something spectacular. May get better still but I found it was good drinking; heavy and balanced without being spactacular. My rating was 95 on the first night, But the next day it was so much better revised rating to 98 but Do not open for another 3 years. Or if you do want to drink now open it 8 hrs before you drink it

August 3, 2019 - Appearance A dark red hue with an almost opaque body.
Nose - A beautiful aroma of elegant perfume, floral, with subtle berry. Immediately you sense this to be a good tasting wine. The smell is just lingering
Palate - Full bodied and quite complex. With almost a savoury flavour, but as you breathe in air, the flavours become much more intense, and blackberry/cassis comes rippling through... The flavour lingers for very long time, before finishing with a smoky strawberry aftertaste, and bitter dark chococlate. Tannins are very refined and abundant, smooth and velvety. Excellent structure that will enable very good cellaring potential. -

December 6, 2017 - Strong core of black fruit, spice and aniseed with a long length terminated a little early by a bitter acidic wall. Tannin is well managed adding a nice texture to the wine. However I'm not sure this acidity that Anonymous described is going to aid the development of this wine over time. I think it's a little unbalanced and certainly won't be testing the 2050 drink by date suggested by JH.
