    March 19, 2024 - Nice fresh red berries, smoke, low/mid acidic, dry, medium finish.

    Great wine to drink, would decant to bring out the fruity notes.

    July 15, 2023 - Very good but far too young. Should shine in 3-5 years.

    June 27, 2023 - Good, reminded me of a Rhone. I think it would pair better with typical Grenache over Shiraz pairings.

    September 10, 2022 - A lighter shade of red with a raspberry rim. Medium bodied with balanced structure and acidity. Dry on the palate with grippy tannins.

    Rather fruit forward with raspberries, strawberries, cherries, and blueberries. Also showing some Black Forest cake, sage, pencil shavings, cigar box, and black peppercorns.

    Medium long finish of red berries, tobacco, and some lingering mineral notes.

    July 19, 2022 - Bright and sweet blueberries and raspberries, dark chocolate, black pepper and toasted clove with a touch of leather on the nose. Lots of sunshine and ripeness popping out of the glass. This is rich and dense with mouth filling sweet fruits and savoury elements hidden behind the polished structure. Licorice and pepper filled the remaining full-bodied palate. A welcoming freshness emerged towards the end of the finish which has some bitter tannins. Some may find the fruits too ripe and residue sugar on the higher side. Proper aging will balance these. Still young and will need 3-5 years for the tannins to melt away, fruitiness to recede and integrate into the structure. This will provide at least 10 years of drinking pleasure thereafter. 91-93 pts.
