  July 11, 2022 - 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc, 25% Cinsault. !4% alcohol.
  
  From the wine fridge. It's delicious! Very dry with a beautiful Cabernet-composed nose and structure. As it breathes the cake-y, spicy, old vine power of the Cinsault grows and just gives the slightest hint of those tonic wines one's grandfather used to drink. It's very complex, very pleasing, has a good balance between the structured and upright Cabernets and the softer, spicy Cinsault. The flavours of one segue seamlessly into the other and it delights totally. You don't get any hint of the alcohol apart from during that 'tonic wine' stage. I think drinking it *slightly* chilled is a good idea, and I think it'll age too. Yes, delicious!

  January 2, 2019 - Vinröd färg, tunn i kanten
  
  Grön paprika, fatat, målarlåda, plommon, körsbär, läder, kaffe, cigarr
  
  Torrt, stramt, tanninrik, bra längd,
  
  Ett maffigt vin som dock känns välbalanserat. Alla reglage är inställda på fem.
