March 15, 2024 - Minty, herby and slightly sweet, nutty nose! Simple and foursquare palate, a sufficient amount of fruits! A medium finish!

March 13, 2023 - Translucent ruby red in colour, rather deep and dense spicy dark fruits on the palate, needs a bit of food to pair it! My suggestion: Spicy Asian food (Thai, maybe Malay and Indian curry) goes very well with it!

May 7, 2022 - Realy still going strong! Will most likely reach its full potential now and a couple of years ahead. Still lots of fruit with cassics and blackberry up front. Licoricepowder and cigarbox follows up and hints of clove and leather in a medium Long finish. Surpricingly wellstructured for a secound wine!

December 19, 2021 - The nose is full of wild fruits, pure and sweet, a little tannic on the palate, deep and rich with a lengthy finish, translucent bright ruby red in colour!
