May 21, 2020 - Great colour, great nose. Big alcohol taste. Peppery, dark plums, dark fruits. The longer it's opened the better it gets, open this a few hours early to really get the full experience. With keeping, could have lasted longer.

December 7, 2017 - Black briary dark fruited thing.l across cloves and dark earth. Heady perfume. A little alcohol warmth rushes over the top of the fruit. Some secondary flavours of oak, and savoury earth flow through. Good to go now. A few bottles left in the cellar

November 26, 2013 - Very dark red with hint of purple at the rim. Nose of Dark chocolate, coffee, vanila, black fruits, cinnamon. On the mouth it is full bodied and delicious black fruits with chocolate in the mix. At this stage tannins are still abit too firm to really enjoy the wine properly. I will leave my remaining bottles in the cellar for another year or 2 before coming back to this. Good potential to hit over 90 when the time comes.
