April 4, 2024 - Medium ruby in colour. Dark fruit, chocolate and mushroom. Big, bold tannins, mild acidity. Drinking now and probably almost at its peak. Complex wine.

March 2, 2024 - This is a smoothly elegant and very distinctive wine, and at the age of 16, it’s just coming into its own. The subtle nose features espresso, dark chocolate, black cherry and cigar box. The palate shows mouthwatering freshness, well resolved tannins, notes of cherry, plum, cured meats, baking spices, and a hint of crushed rock. The fruit fades quickly on the finish, while tobacco and limestone linger on.

February 10, 2024 - Very nice and great viscosity and feel. Red berries a hint of pepper and nice cocoa finish. Good tannins many years left. Very Syrah based Rhine like

October 15, 2023 - Must decant 2+ and this baby sings. Smooth oak but integrated and not overpowering the phenomenal red fruit and tobacco/ cedar undertones! Drank w/ 2004 Tondonia and Flor de Pingas and it stood out. 93.
