April 1, 2024 - Clean, crisp, medium bodied, cedar and pencil lead, blackcurrant and minerals. Doesn't need long keeping, but may improve a little.

January 23, 2024 - For less than $30, this is drinking above its weight class. It is definitely integrated and drinking like a classic cab dominant Bordeaux. You can hold off for the next five+ years but it is drinking well here at n 2024!

November 25, 2023 - Very deep; stern nose; tannins remain, lean, solod; robust finish. Leave alone for a while.

March 29, 2023 - Hints of petrol and lilac on the nose. On the palate a mix of very ripe red raspberry, some ripe blackberry, dusty tannins, white flower, and garrigue. Well balanced acidity, but lacks fruit. Could be a bit thin at times. Decent wine but not for the price. The odd thing here is there is some new French oak, that really is imperceptible, maybe it adds some balance, but no depth.
72% cabernet sauvignon and 28% merlot
