May 8, 2022 - The nose comes through rich. lush and loaded with energy. Stains of petrol and underwood amalgamate with sumptuous nuances of dark and red fruit creating an attractive whole. A pungent blonde orange layer donates vibrancy. The mouth is packed with concentration and tension. This is already good and will keep improving over the years to come.

February 16, 2022 - Blend of Merlot (63%) , Cabernet Franc (34%), Cabernet Sauvignon (2%) and Malbec (1%), aged in 60% new barrels.
Beautiful deep red. The nose starts out with an intriguing leather accent followed by intense red berries, iodine and a pervasive blood-orange undertone. The fruit is enveloped in a layers of spices that contribute to a sort of appealing sweetness it. In the mouth, although not overly concentrated the wine comes through with full-body velvety texture from the ripe fruit, with loads of elegant freshness. -

September 21, 2019 - A touch of oak on the nose brings you to the licorice and red fruits. The wine is soft, medium bodied, open and finishes with sweet red cherries.
