Here I am drinking this wine today, two years after it’s best before date and I would truly say it’s just coming into its own now and the remaining bottles from the case will remain in my cellar for the next few years. I will continue to try one bottle a year just to see its progress. This wine is nowhere near peak.

Darkish red, slightly paling edge. Large bq w cherries, red fruits, white pepper, slate, stone dust, Fine grained tannins, high acidity, fruit slightly drying, hint of laurel. Medium aftertaste w liquorice, alcohol, some salinity. Good balance, Not much complexity. Nice, but not great.

Very dark red. Mostly dark fruit on the nose and palate. Rich with good fruit flavours. Some minor secondary characteristics. The wine feels a bit heavy, maybe due to the high alcohol. Seems dominated by the Cabernet and drinks like a Bordeaux. Nice wine but was expecting more refinement for the money.

Better than last tasting a year ago. Nice full red and dark fruit flavours, showing a bit or maturity. Nicely balanced.

Similar to last tasting note 13 months ago. The nose seemed more intense than the last bottle.
