January 18, 2020 - Ruby; Haney, fresh red berries, cherry, primary svelte; lively, crunchy red fruit, cherries, bright acidity; lean finish. Age ability difficult to judge.

February 8, 2019 - Aromatics just leap out of the glass, red fruits and candy, cooked rhubarb, very pronounced lemony acidity on entry that continues through the midpalate - feels like a touch too much tartaric acid put in. Good persistence, red fruits, lavender and barbecued meat notes, touch of green stalk. Fine burr of tannins on the palate, medium to full bodied. Sealed under diam, the core of fruit will allow this to age another few years. Would recommend leaving this for another 3-5 years.
Day 3: acidity even more pronounced and out of balance. Not sure about this one. Poured remaining half of bottle down the sink. -

January 30, 2018 - Seemed a bit edgy at first with jangly acid
Around 2 hours and it had settled down, day two even better
Dark in appearance
Beetroot, earth
Slight herbal note, pepper, spice
A lovely feminine, cool climate expression
Needs time to develop, but a very nice wine
Looking forward to the 2017 -

September 25, 2017 - 13.5% ABV
Dark cherry red with cherry hue.
Red plum, black cherry and black olive... There's also some green pepper, dusty tannins and floral violets and roses.
Bloody like this, needs a good 3 to 4 hour decant or leave it another year..
