January 28, 2023 - Showing well. Not truly exceptional, but a warm, rich fruit with a burnt/oaky edge to it which was just about in balance.

November 25, 2022 - Nez profond de sous bois. Beaucoup de fruits à l'aération. Prunes. Bouche dense et bien équilibrée. Parfait avec des tripes épicées.

October 24, 2021 - Delicious, really well-balanced with lovely raspberry/ cherry fruit. A very pleasant surprise - Mrs H loved this. Drink up as this is very good now and is unlikely to improve.

October 30, 2020 - PnP'd at dinner alongside a fleshier California syrah blend, hence the crunchy red and black fruit, tannins and acidity still evident made it stand out. Youthful boysenberry, black plum and licorice stand out with barely-there tar, tea and orange peel peeking around the edges. Medium plus body, plenty of structure, and not much secondary development. Should reward further cellaring.
