  July 5, 2023 - Coravin fun - Brackets of braces (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Red and black plums, sweet spice, a little pencil shavings, slight herbaceous notes, cream, slight vanilla. Juicy, fleshy, slightly savoury though generous red and black fruits; plums; slight currant, broad, softly textured burr sits in the background but offers framework, sweet spice, exceedingly pleasant.

  April 14, 2019 - Served blind, this fruit bomb reminded me of recently bottled new world red. Boy was I wrong once the bottle was unravelled. To my shock, having previously drunk all my stock of Ferrand Lartigue’s 96 fearing it wouldn’t hold, I was blown away at how fresh and lively the wine had remained after 22 year! This was a great bottle which could be held for another 10 year if not longer, very well done.

  October 14, 2016 - Much better than last bottle. More body and depth. Nicely intergrated fruit, tannins with good length.
