May 11, 2023 - the tannins are fully resolved and this is ready and easy drinking - no great complexity and probably will not improve much if at all from here

March 5, 2023 - 2/3, good cork. Decanted and then served.
Deep ruby/garnet core, narrow pale rub rim. Still quite youthful looking. Nose shows ripe dark fruit, vanilla, cedar notes. Medium/full bodied, quite glossy and ripe with soft tannins, dark fruit, cedar, balanced by lovely cleansing acidity which carries a good length, harmonious finish. Still delicious - perhaps best up to end 2028. -

August 21, 2022 - Visually youthful with barely a hint of bricking. On the nose, light black currants, not too jammy or concentrated. The palate is also fairly light, dominated by black currants, low acidity and weak tannins quickly vanish on the finish.
