    March 28, 2024 - Loved this vintage! Moderate tannins, nice underlying green pepper notes. Drank this bottle over 3 days and enjoyed it from start to end.

    April 9, 2023 - I always enjoy this wine but it paled as a follow up to the ‘07 purple angel.

    February 24, 2023 - Very little in the way of tannins leaving the wine unbalanced. Medium intensity black currant coupled with some herbaceousness gives some complexity into a shortish finish.

  • JAP55 Does not like this wine: 70 points

    February 14, 2023 - I was hoping for a better outcome after the previous bottle but, even after giving this one the benefit of the doubt by decanting for a day, it was simply not enjoyable.
    Although it did soften after the decant, acidity was much more prevalent than tannin and any form of flavour could best be described as a sour cherry.
    In short, the balance was poor, the length of finish was mercifully short, flavour intensity was low and consisted of the aforementioned sour cherry. I hope the subsequent vintages I have are at least palatable as the 2016 would be doing a disservice to the sangrias it will inevitably be used to create.
