  September 23, 2017 - Cellaraid Discovery Box; 5/19/2017-5/26/2021 (Delivered to Home): deep garnet; medium body but with a bit more tannins and intensity, plums, prunes, baked cherries, jammy, hawthorne, herbal, tea leaves, forest floor, coffee, gamey, charred wood; still some ageing potential, but going well now.

  December 23, 2016 - Tasting with Michelle and Bo in Singapore (Pine Close): A bit tired, but still enjoyable. This had a nice nose, with typical meaty notes of blood and iron, and then a touch of leathery, barnyard accents stretched over a core of dark fruit - plums and prunes and a really deep draw of cassis. There was a hint of oxidative soy aromas in there, but not quite enough to throw the bouquet off-kilter. It all came together quite nicely actually. The palate seem a little less mature than the nose suggested. While drying out just that little bit, it was still very alive, with juicy cherry tomato-like acidity (telltale Snagiovese here) and some fine brambly tannins framing a mouthful of sweet dried plums and prunes, and more secondary flavours of earth and iron filings. There was still some grip here, especially on the finish, which ended with a little drying linger of bittersweet herb. Lots of character on this wine. It was maybe just very slightly past its best, but there this was still quite enjoyable.
