December 13, 2020 - Very dark and opaque, with just a tinge of brick. Quite a complex nose. All ripe black fruit at first, giving way to earth and a bit of barnyard, and then later savory, peppery spice. The rather fierce tannins that were very prominent in this wine's youth have melted away. There's still a bit of it going on, but the wine is certainly very approachable, and nothing that a bit of food can't fix. Rich, with a lot of ripe, sweet black fruit. Grilled meat, dried herbs, coffee beans as well. Very nicely put together. The 14% alcohol doesn't show at all. The earthiness is also apparent on the palate. Maybe just approaching peak. Good length. Savory, meaty finish.Excellent.

September 21, 2018 - 樱桃、草莓，甘草和豆蔻，雪松和橡木的味道已开始融合到果味之中，并不张扬，需要有耐心去细细品味和解读。浓郁而不失优雅，庄重而不无聊，甜美而不甜腻。

December 1, 2017 - This is a very well made wine which is certainly in the window, but no rush to finish up. Second half of the bottle drunk a couple of days later was probably better. So smooth, fresh, and a lovely blend of fruit and tertiary characteristics. Long length.
