March 27, 2024 - Second bottle of a case of six bought on auction two years ago. Even better than last bottle. Dark fruit, plum, blackberry, boysenberry, dark cherry, earth, chocolate, cocoa, tobacco, and spices, with good, medium-level acidity, fine, well integrated tannin, and very good length. Medium-bodied and well-balanced, and light on its feet. Great with food (in our case herb-marinated escalope of turkey). Better on day one than on day two. In a good place; drink now.

February 15, 2022 - First bottle of a case of six I bought on auction recently. Dark ruby colour. Dark berries, blackberry, boysenberry, dark cherry, dark plum, some chocolate, light graphite, and spice, with medium-level acidity, fine, well-integrated tannin and good length. The medium-bodied, medium-concentrated, medium complex wine is smoothly textured and well balanced. It benefited from aeration. By day two, the wine is even smoother, very integrated and quite harmonious. Early maturity. Drink or hold, depending on your preference.

October 22, 2018 - Real dark in the glass, relatively modest nose. Initially still a bit closed, but after 1-2 hours opening up. Powerfull, lots of pure fruit and a long finish. This is very good indeed. Can keep easily and currently decant recommended.
