  March 10, 2024 - Brett on the nose has me worried but it settles down after a few minutes of being open. Some capsicum but integrated, lovely fruit still. Tannins are still very present, softened a bit but you still feel them. Still drinks incredibly young, only hint of age is the rust color on the edges. Served to some friends blind and the oldest anybody guessed was 2012.

  November 2, 2018 - Last bottle off a restaurant cellar, from memory. In impeccable state, fine nose, which showed signs of evolution, going in the direction of tobacco and roasted coffee, but not excessively so and remained fresh.
  The palate was lively and silky. A real treat.

  July 19, 2018 - Not rated as it is tasted at a restaurant
  Transparent ruby with brown hue and fine sediments
  Nose of flowers, dark cherries and tobacco at first, more savoury and little nose after an hour in glass
  On the palette, it shows tart cherries and soft tannin
