January 29, 2024 - Lush red fruits, ruby grapefruit, and a hint of tanginess on the finish. On night two, hints of oak and licorice with a touch of floral. Great potential.

December 13, 2022 - 醒酒两个小时，深紫红色，闻香有醋栗，草本，奶油和香料感，香气有点淡，入口酸度中高，单宁紧涩，细砂纸颗粒感，酒体偏轻，青椒一类香气为主，后段奶香。入口感觉香气比较简单，酒体偏弱，闻香也没有给人留下太深的印象，是目前表现最弱的一支酒。

November 5, 2022 - Decanter Fine Wine Encounter (The Landmark, London): Medium minus intensity aromas with a fruit sweet core showing blackcurrants, a little savoury note, touch of sweet spice and cedar both in support on the rather nice nose. Medium plus intensity acidity, very slightly sour black and red fruit, grape and wood tannins are slightly chalky textured. Nice.

June 6, 2022 - After pulling the cork, it smelled off, like cardboard. After 15 min, the smell dissipated, revealing dark fruits, leather, earthy. On palate, very earthy, very bdx. Really nice cheap wine.
