  March 26, 2024 - Warm, rich, great blackberry and damson fruit. Robust structure. Persistent and straightforward. Drinking now and over the next 10 years.

  August 31, 2023 - A touch tight at first yet still smooth. Opened up after 30 min. Got so much better, richer, smoother. Very delicious and drinkable now with some air. Everyone loved it!

  September 25, 2022 - I did not write a note, but this was really nice. Young, yes, but still quite pleasurable already. Despite being a powerful wine there was a certain airiness and a backbone of acidity that elevated the wine:)

  September 1, 2022 - A private dinner (Restaurant The Lobby Fizeaustraat, Hotel V, Amsterdam, NL): Rouge. Deep and dark and concentrated – powerful and structured, very tannic, needs time in the decanter to settle down. Lots of southern warmth and richness on the nose, but there is no real heat and on the palate the weight (14% ABV) is buffered by minerally freshness. Lots of black pepper on the nose too, roses and violets and peaches, the tannins integrate well (they are beautifully judged, firm but ripe), and there is a lovely lightness of touch – I can understand the reference to Mencia. Length and drive are exemplary. I would love to revisit this in 3-5 years’ time, but secondary market prices make such an encounter unlikely, alas. On the second day the tannins have receded considerably, the warmth is gone, the marvellously glossy fruit really shines with the spices and flowers, and there is a wonderful sense of overall balance and harmony. Stunning wine. Great future.
