October 22, 2021 - Deep Garnet colour. Cassis, prunes, black pepper on the nose. Cassis and prunes also dominant in the taste, along with subtler notes of figs, vanilla, strawberries, cocoa and coffee. Highish acid, medium body, medium tannins, dry. Good wine, but slightly overpriced.

December 12, 2019 - Popped from a 375ml bottle. Some cassis and spicy oak on the nose. Medium bodied, very smooth and supple, showing cassis toned dark fruit with some austere oaky flavors. Gentle tannins and acidity. A bit like a bordeaux without a decent spine. Quaffable but not so exciting.
