June 25, 2023 - Deep red color, very fruity nose. A bouquet of blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, spices combined with a nice sweetness. A bit jammy on the palate but wonderful, strong texture. Long finish with polished tannins. Still in good condition after more than 20 years.

April 8, 2023 - Slow ox 3 hours. Great match with leg of lamb, good fruit, slight bit jammy/ hint of sweetness but overall excellent.

April 23, 2022 - Opened over a few hours, as a lead in and a finish after a ‘97 Grange. Cork dry and crumbled, but wine intact with great structure. Tannins fully integrated and at peak now. Fruit and secondary flavours well alive. Fantastic
