June 20, 2023 - Well this was our surprise of the night. Served at a restaurant with one hour decant, and it shined. Our bottle was at perfect maturity. Based on our bottle, I rate this much higher than Suckling did and some other CT consumers. Our bottle was great, plain and simple, and a terrific value. Recommended.

March 15, 2023 - By the glass at Brackenbury Wine Rooms again. First glass from the end of one bottle, second from the start of another, really highlights that this needs time to open up.

March 7, 2023 - By the glass at Brackenbury Wine Rooms. Served cool, not decanted. Quite polished, subtle. Good balance. Would have benefited from decanting/more time to open up. As it was I don't think it showed itself or its potential, not differentiated enough to drive the praise or criticism it's receiving here.
