  November 16, 2023 - Very dark and full bodied. Black fruits, spice, perhaps some pear drops and licorice. Not bad but rather full on!

  March 23, 2020 - On the nose, dark fruit, some herbaceous notes and "dust". On the palate, quite balanced with the fruit coming more to the forefront. Full-bodied with crisp acidity, matching alcohol and present but silky tannins. Decent length. A well-made wine, and if the "dust" smell does not put you off, this is great value for money at 11 GBP IB.
