  November 15, 2023 - Pnp on day one: promising nose with vanilla, garrigue, black olives, black fruit, cassis, butterscotch, cherries. But, the palate did not come through in the same way. I got cherry liqueur, high acidity, heat from alcohol and too hefty tannins.
  It did not feel balanced so I put the cork back and tried it two days later which was a much better experience - although the nose was now more muted and showed prunes, dark chocolate, gianduja and maraschino cherries.
  The palate had opened up (still woody tannins though) to dark forrest berries, chocolate, hazelnuts and dessicated apples which was a first for me in a red wine. I have one more of these to try in the future.

  July 29, 2023 - Leather, murky wood and still some plum fruit. Very good concentration, nice acidity and sanded down tannins.

  December 1, 2021 - First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): Served Blind.
  Medium minus intensity aromas are slightly reductive rubbery, blackcurrant, sweet spice, alcohol warmth, quite closed on the nose. In the mouth medium plus intensity acidity, massive drying, tannins are chalky textured, black hued fruits, alcohol warmth.
  I knew this was mine.
