  January 9, 2021 - Deep purplish ruby red. Dark spices on the nose with some savory nuances, dark berries and purple flowers. Medium plus tannins (7/10) with a full body. A bit sweet on the palate with graphite, spiced berries, perfumed fruits and a bit savory. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2032.

  October 3, 2019 - Deep purplish ruby red. Dark berries on the nose with some baking spices and purple flowers. Medium plus tannins (7/10) with a full body. Tons of graphite on the palate with spiced berries. Long and lingering finish. Still a very young wine. Drink till 2032. (93+)

  April 4, 2019 - Tasted at dinner featuring Holden Manz wines, hosted by Caviste wine merchant, Hampshire, UK. The colour is dark inky cherry, almost black. Blackcurrant and spice. Tight, young tannins. This needs 5-10 years in bottle. Expensive, so not sure whether it will repay the investment.
