Buy this year in year out as a reliable “mini chateauneuf” that ages beautifully - 15 years in good vintages - and delivers way above price point. 2012 just broaching drinkability now - nose of raspberry and bramble, full bodied as ever, cherry rich palate, long finish. Bravo!

I’ve had three bottles of this wine this year, this one and the first one were really fresh and well balanced and drinking beautifully. The second one a month ago tasted old and of stale Christmas pudding, must have been a bad bottle.

I think this is starting to go downhill now, lost some of its fruit still got the pepper and herbs but starting to pick up some Christmas cake flavours and not as bright in the mouth

Time has rewarded the patient. Had this at Thanksgiving and is really showing well with beautiful blackberries and great concentration. A winner now.

Decanted for 30 minutes and it really opened up beautifully red and black fruits on the nose and palate. Very pleasant
