December 31, 2023 - A very funky nose upon opening that fortunately blew off within minutes. Deep red concentration suggesting more Syrah than Pinot Noir. Plenty of dark fruit. Hot on the finish. While I enjoy sampling Pinot Noir from regions beyond Burgundy, there are times I wish the locals would have renamed the grape. A change in nomenclature eliminate comparisons to the benchmark and prompt a more neutral or even positive tasting note.

November 7, 2023 - Decanted for 30 min, primary fruit and spices. Not much to add, as I am using it as a weekday wine. Will try to leave my two left bottles for good few years. I could say there were some bottle variations so far. Last night, here we had some funky notes at opening but faded with air.

April 10, 2023 - Drinking so nicely now. More harmonious than my previous bottles, same richness of fleshy, tangy red berries, freshness and spices, medium to full bodied, intense with vigor and youthful energy. Drank over 2 days, on day 1, half bottle decanted through vinturi, and maybe I slightly prefer it because of that energy, still good on day 2 - better harmony though. 14.5% alc - for note.

January 7, 2023 - Tonnes of SO2 on opening. Pure and lively fruit underneath. It needed time to dissipate, fleshy and inviting with convincing consistency. Half of the bottle on day2 - still with primary fruit upfront. Overall, pretty enjoyable and a bargain <£15, wondering if the generous Sainsbury's offer has sth to do with over SO2-ing?

September 28, 2022 - Fleshy, lifted fruits and moderate oak treatment, not too heavy but not as lively as I was hoping. Good overall, stocked up on a generous Sainsbury discount - OK for the discounted price.
