    October 3, 2023 - Good red fruited nose, light oaky touches with a little bit vanilla - took 10min after opening.
    Medium bodied, soft and just a little tannin which was wonderful to drink now but has the potential of another 1 or 2 years.

    February 25, 2019 - Amsterdam UGCB Tasting and Winemakers' Dinner (Beurs van Berlage / Café De Klepel): Magnum. It was getting late, so the note is short, but I remember enjoying the crisp Cabernet fruit.

    February 25, 2019 - aged for over an year in oak. Deep red color. Color does not show the age of the wine. Expressive nose. Black and red fruits. Plums. Some blackcurrants. Leather. Good freshness. Tannins tell me it can be cellared for a few years. Bit rustic.

    January 20, 2018 - Nicoletta's 40th Birthday weekend!; 1/18/2018-1/21/2018 (Megeve, France): From magnum. No decanting.
    Quite the straight forward, well made entry level claret. Very good effort for a 2008, good red fruited nose, light oaky touches, mocha feel in the background. Still on the fresh and vibrant side albeit has a few secondary touches, medium bodied, on the softer and barring a few dry touches on the tannin side very good. 88-89 and drinks well now.
