June 17, 2023 - Tannin too mouth puckering to enjoy on its own, but improved when matching a decent lasagne.

October 23, 2021 - Red fruit and a note of herbal. Some cedar. Balanced tannins. Not a lot of Depth but just enough. Decent finish.

June 30, 2020 - Rather impressed with this one! Medium ruby colour. Interesting nose; plum, cherry, and dried herbs. Characteristic acidity. Dry, tannic. Needs food! Decent finish. Would happily revisit.
