    April 13, 2024 - The best wine we could find at our resort in St. Kitts. The options were very limited. Consistent vintage after vintage and easy to drink.

    March 30, 2024 - Plum and pen ink on the nose. On the palate, plum, black cherry, and blackberry, with vanilla oak and light spices on the medium finish, with light tannins and moderate acidity. This was an average value at about $50.

    March 7, 2024 - Fantastic day 1, even better days 2 and 3. Exceptional value at this stage of maturity.

    February 13, 2024 - Light on its feet, with some alcohol notes and raspberries/blueberries on the palate. Some fruits on the nose as well, while the ending is medium-short. Decent wine, certainly expensive QPR. Fell a bit flat and soulless.

    December 16, 2023 - Drank with a friend - sumptuous, dark juicy bramble fruit. Plenty of power and body but also some finesse.
