October 3, 2021 - Stood upright for 9 days, slow oxed for 1 hour, brown color, upon opening earth, mushrooms, truffles, soy, coffee, palm sugar, porty, still some fruits left, tannins completely resolved, fully mature, last sip was Kaluahua, a singular rewarding experience

April 3, 2021 - Slow oxed for one hour. 63 years old and this is still in great shape. Faded red cherry, tar, earth and truffles come through. The wine is medium bodied, surprisingly robust at this age with fruit hanging in there and only a little bit of barnyard showing. Overall a very pleasant surprise.

Complex nose with confection, cola, vanilla, truffle, soy, hoisin, leather, smoke, baking spice and rose.
Very concentrated density on the palate which is initially quite mute, following 2 hours saline olive tapenade with a hint of blood orange, dusty tannins with good acidity and decent length.
Overall a very concentrated savoury wine which left me wishing I’d pulled the cork out on heading off to work this morning and given it a good long slow ox... -

July 19, 2018 - Smoked bacon, orange zest, warm, opulent and concentrated. Serafinos from the 50’s and 60’s are just outstanding!

May 24, 2018 - At first it smells of spent fireworks. After a long decant you get notes of tar, raisins, chocolate and dried flowers. It is dense, fresh and powerful in the mouth. There's still a strong line of minerally acidity and plenty of chew to the back-end. Not an elegant wine but loads of flavour and really good build.
