April 25, 2022 - Cherry, pencil shavings and peppery spice. Palate is lean, with light red fruits and a good spice kick. Nice value.

August 7, 2018 - Medium ruby colour. Nose is clean and medium (+). Perfumed floral notes, sweet strawberries, bright cherries, pomegranate, hints of garden and herbs. Dry with medium (+) acidity. Soft medium tannins. Body is medium (+). Flavour is medium (+) and palate is savoury, juicy ripe cherries, strawberries, fresh, bright. Finish is medium (+). Wine is very good, well balanced and good length. Delicious if I have to be very critical the only thing I can fault with is intensity and complexity.
