April 12, 2024 - Really singing despite no aeration. Nice energy, layers of flavor and long finish. Liked it a lot. It really outshone a 2016 Parallel Limelight that was drunk beside it.

November 3, 2023 - This is drinking great. Opened for 30 mins and was perfectly drinkable. Would definitely buy again. Good blend dark fruit / charcoal / minerals. Drank before dinner and was a treat by itself.

April 6, 2023 - Delicious wine. Gave it a 4 hour decant, which it needed. Last glass was the best. One has to get over the fact that the bottle weighs more than many small cars, but the wine is very tasty. a decent QPR, unless you are having to pay freight on the bottles. Very thick and concentrated, a Godzilla type of wine.

May 22, 2022 - Amazing Dark opaque garnet / purple. Nose with dried cherries and herb. Lush red and dark fruit with finely balanced tannins and a very long finish
