February 12, 2022 - The 2001 vintage started earlier than usual because of a very hot few weeks prior to picking. The vines were well protected by a good canopy growth in the spring and produced excellent fruit that showed intense, rich flavours, good structure and mature ripe tannins

from Magnum -cellar release Good solid natural cork 3-4mm penetration
med garnet colour ,slight bricking ,Impenetrable , black hues 15/15
nose , super intense , mulberry , black olive , poached strawberry, red liquorice , new leather , white pepper , good layering and complexity 29/30
palate med bodied , flavours from the nose , soft resolved tannins, silky acidity across the palate , extra long finish 41/44
overal sensational second wine to The Armagh will probably hold at this level for a few more years 11/11 -

January 6, 2020 - Deep garnet in color. Nose of blackberries, dark cherries, leather and menthol. Taste of blackberries, dark cherries, cranberries, licorice, and hint of tar. Very young but heavy licorice flavor that takes away from some of the fruit.Pronounced acidity. May continue to evolve. Drink in 3 to 5 years.

October 8, 2010 - My last bottle. Thought time was running out, but I was wrong. Still a powerful wine. Maybe a little over extracted, but I'm lovin it.

June 2, 2008 - Still displaying deep ruby/purple colour. Medium/pronounced nose with plenty of black fruit and hints of spice. The palette revealed much of the same, although I do feel that this wine is at its best now and if anything is starting to show signs of age. So drink up soon! Very good
