  June 18, 2023 - Sunday lunch (Porcine, Oxford Street): Savoury umami notes, slightly dried out red berry fruits, a little mushroom, earthy, touch of vanilla, quite elegant. Fleshy and juicy on the palate, silky tannins, quite elegant, long. Positively Burgundian some would say. Flavours as per the nose. Very nice.

  January 14, 2023 - Spanish fun day one (N&J's place, Canberra): From Coravin. Mushroom, sous bois, garigue, earth. Leather, dried red fruits, dried flowers, tiny orange peel note, very slight vanilla, gets more meaty with time. Juicy, savoury, a little dilute, leathery, tannins are drying, fruit dried out and pretty a shadow of its former self, those earthy sous bois notes show through on the palate as well, touch of fruit tea and tobacco leaf on the long finish. At the end of it's life; needs a decant and consumption fairly soon...but interesting none the less

  October 27, 2022 - Such a complex, elegant wine. Has age but still going strong. Prior tasting note still applies:
  
  “Medium to light ruby color with bricking. Saturated earthy nose. Red cherry, savory strawberry, earth, some mushroom, cured meat, spice. Perfect balance of fruit, earth and acidity; traditional, elegant and flat out delicious.”

  December 13, 2021 - Cork in great shape with minimal sediment. Flavors are a bit muddy with soft tannins.
