  Decanted and consumed over 3 hours. Slight bricking. Light-moderate aromas of leather, roses, red fruits, and spice. Similar flavors, moderate strength. Lean. Lots of acidity. Light-moderate complexity/finish. Enjoyable, but it is on the leaner side. Not sure where it goes from here.

  Winoforum 2021 – Włochy (On-line): Brick in colour, nice nose, flowers, raspberries, lacking some acidity for my taste, great fruit structure with some herbal finish.

  When I tasted this it was nice enough for me to make a purchase. Glad I only bought one because this is a real disappointment. Thin, weedy, sour, short . . . . Maybe it's an off bottle but it holds no interest whatsoever.

  This has a 1,000 point nose that just won't quit. Very pleasing sour cherry palate that combines firmness and a medium-light body. Not sure how to rate it as I absolutely love this wine and don't want to overscore. How's 90-95?

  It’s good - some floral notes, some fruit, some leather. Still got some tannins. I would rate it higher, but it lacked a certain amount of concentration for me. May just have been too light for the lamb we were eating. Interested to try some of their other cuvees/vintages
