    April 19, 2024 - Pronounced nose intensity with notes of red fruits, strawberry, sweet cherry.

    March 25, 2024 - Still very primary, with very little development. Needed some air to temper the acidity and for everything to come together. PnP felt a bit disjoint. Red fruit, a bit of ripeness but not overboard, cola, spice and dried herbs. I'd give this a few more years before opening another.

    Light ruby colour.

    Pronounced aromas of cranberry, ripe red cherry, strawberry, cola, all spice, vanilla, a hint of smoke, mint, dried herbs.

    Pronounced palate.

    Medium body, high acidity, medium (-) tannin, long finish.

    November 29, 2023 - Clearly very well made. Expressive red fruit and fine, integrated tannin but I found the alcohol to be out of balance (14.1%). Not sure whether this would improve in the future as a result.

    June 12, 2023 - Once again I loved the wine but this time felt that it was not ready. Acidic dominant and fruit reserved. I would recommend that you not open this s wine right now.
