March 8, 2024 - 11th Bottle of a case bought on release. Perfect condition. Decanted off the sediment and consumed immediately. Delicious with life ahead

December 12, 2017 - Decanted 30 minutes. Tart acid and grippy tannins. Not much fruit.

May 26, 2015 - Took a good 20+ minutes to open up. Still some bright red fruit. Medium body. Well integrated. Candy apple and cherries on the palate. Somehow this was intriguing albeit not profound. Drinking well now. A bit less old world style then its peers.

April 17, 2015 - Exciting, penetrating aromatic lines from bottle. Double-decanted and drunk 45 mins later. Nose contains some strawberry jam; lending density. Also wild strawberry, ginger and red earth; you can smell the energy. Palate is perhaps a little lean - reflecting '96 and grower - but has loads of vitality. Still some grip; reflecting Rugiens well & suggesting years in hand. Its remaining natural substance had me wanting to cool a cool wine further. Nose later added red raisins, tar and red citrus. Maybe the acid is a little aggressive. Immediate obvious excellence though. 10% next night. Rare meat to bandaid. Citrus, burnt strawberry and toffee. Concentrated, but dissipates / doesn't drive in finish. Still enjoyable, but clearly an oxidised manifestation.
