  A difficult wine for me to rate. Opened and tasted half a glass. Really not very nice - little fruit, harsh tannins and lacking any length. So I put it to one side.
  However by day 4, the wine was remarkably transformed and improved. So drunk with mushroom and pancetta tagliatelle. Bramble fruits and chocolate. Very nice balance with moderate length. No unpleasantness - smooth and 'sweet'. A bit hard to gauge - perhaps needs more time?However, if you drink now I would double decant for many hours. My rating is for it at its best.
  
  Tasted again on 7/02/2024 - Deep garnet. Straight in this time to stewed black fruits, plums and dark chocolate. Smooth, soft tannins and good length. Alcohol very much present and lacks a bit of acidity to give it frashness and livliness. Overall rather sweet but not bad this time. Not really my style of wine though.

  A tad sweet, but intense, fruity with a good finish. It grows on you.

  One dimensional. A fruit bomb that has faded and is left feeling old and washed out. I like the winery, but drink these young.

  PnP at pot luck. No detailed notes. Straightforward and a little fruity, but certainly drinkable.

  A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color. A medium to full bodied Cab, with blackberry, cassis, some chocolate and spice on finish, better than previous years.
