  May 9, 2024 - This was a nice dark bodied red, full and with medium tannins. The fruit had some nice dark cherries, wild blackberries and some plums hint of smoke. At this price point good to add to the cellar will do some myself.

  March 30, 2024 - 66% Merlot & 34% Cab. It has some sediment, so it's best to decant 90 min before serving.
  
  Medium (-) aromas of perfume, tobacco, vanilla, smoke, red plum, and a hint of barnyard.
  
  The acidity is medium (+), which creates a juicy taste of red plum, subtle yet ripe blueberry, vanilla, smoke, iron, and salt. The finish of the wine is medium (-).
  
  It is a good one to pair with food & cheese.

  March 20, 2024 - Smoky currant, olive, marmite, integrated toast and bitter chocolate nose. Smoky, spicy, savoury and palate. Weighty but well-balanced with a long, smoky finish.
  4.5/5

  October 22, 2023 - Dense, dark ruby color.
  
  Nose is both earthy and fruit laden with aromas of blackberry, bramble, plum, wet earth and forest floor, barnyard, dried porcini mushrooms, and a touch of something gamey like roasted lamb shoulder. Still youthful but showing interesting tertiary elements.
  
  On the palate the wine is round and full with medium acidity and svelte chalky tannins. Lots of grip and a long, complex finish. I wish I had more of this to lay down for a while. Punches way above its weight.
