May 6, 2013 - This has mellowed a lot since I last had it, but still requires decanting to open up. Dark, peppery, lots of dark fruits. Good and enjoyable, but of its own style rather than trying to emulate something that is out there already.

March 30, 2013 - Good deep nose with round dark fruit on the palate. I think it is ready to drink and wont last much longer. A decent drop 83 points

November 28, 2012 - Very alcoholic, very heavy, very extracted. Seemed too much. Lots of pepper and spice and cooked dark fruits. Needs more time? Or will it never mellow?

January 6, 2012 - Lots of extraction, peppery, toasty oak, a whack of fruit and decent tannins. Pretty good value for money here.

April 20, 2011 - drank first time 1.5 years ago, back then it was only so so. Today the wine has gained depth in both nose and on the palate. A little age is showing in the nose, but none on the palate which is deeply fruity (both black and red fruits) perfect acid and round tannins. high in alcohol (14,5%), but this is well integrated. Good QPR, would buy more!
