February 9, 2024 - Nose of violets. Light weight. Beautiful finish with characteristic cool climate tea leaf tannins. Outstanding.

February 18, 2023 - Ooh yes, this bottle was singing. Medium body and a lovely bright ruby core. Great nose you could smell for hours. it’s got some red and black berry fruit with good detail, some development which makes it a little heady and evocative of a spice bazaar and a mineral core. Some soft tannins still and then the acidity washes through on the clean and good length finish. Worth holding onto these bottles so far, 1 left, try in a year or so
