On October 09 I had a 2019 vintage. Let's see if a year older wine is better. 2019 got 94 points according to WA Vintage Guide and 2018 - 93. An hour in the decanter. 🕙 The smell is more fragrant, perfumed, with flowers, but also with meat smoke and black fruits ( interesting mix). Taste - I would say it's basically the same with hints of delicate earth and forest with this wine. Everything else is the same. A lot of ripe black fruits, great acidity, soft tannins and long spicy finish Balance, harmony, addiction WE - 92 Vinous - 92 RP - 91

Avec un peu d’âge, j’espérais qu’il gagne en finesse, en complexité mais il reste campé sur sur son fruit mûr, et même si sa matière est plutôt souple, modérément structurée, l’ensemble me paraît bien classique. Bien fait, mais classique… (manque de charme et de personnalité)

PnP. Nose of raspberry, citrus notes, and plenty of barnyard. Delightful bright red fruit with roses delivers a streak of acidity then settles into lithe tannins, lots of funky earth, and a dark cherry note on a long finish that sparkles with acidity. Nice balanced and drinking well now, though I'm sure it will go longer.

Dark colour, intense fruit aroma, structure in the mouth, can very well age

Like cherry juice mixed with soda water, and not exactly in a pleasant way. Slightly effervescent, somewhat dilute, a little bit lacking in acidity.
