December 14, 2023 - Lovely and feminine. Slightly stemmy, in a good way. 13.5% but seems lower.

October 27, 2023 - A well made wine with a lot of fruit - it is cherries, strawberries and raspberries - also some spices - the wine is well balanced - but not a long aftertaste - we end up at 92.

June 6, 2023 - Very similar experience to previous bottles. It surprises me each time at the paleness of the colour and definitely a duskiness to this now. I don't get much nose from it. It's deceptively gentle on the palate with an initial flush of red summer fruit yielding to a more pronounced acidic cherry (?) finish. There's a sense of some depth to the wine and a little bit of length.
I'm still undecided as to whether there's anything more to come from these or whether they'll just gently fade from here. One left to see. -

March 19, 2022 - Colour: ruby red, rather dark for a PN.
Nose: strawberry, raspberry, cherry, clove, pepper, sandalwood...very rich and quite complex.
Palate: smooth, fresh (good acidity), long and with a good body (chewier than your avarage PN) with red fruit and spices. A very nice bottle of wine.
Will hold for a few years, possibly even get better.
