Lovely nose. Dark purple. Ripe plum, black cherry, dark fruit. Soft tannins, but needs air time. And prob needs several more years in bottle. Nice supple finish. — 6 hours ago

Had to try the ‘18. Two hour decant. The nose is just so floral. This wine has it all - plush tannins, silky texture, black and blue fruit with a cassis liqueur long finish. Amazing! Can’t wait to watch these age. — 12 days ago

Gonna let it breathe a bit, but initially it’s got a big red fruited nose. Plum and red fruit, tannins softened up for a nice mouthfeel but it’s quite acidic. So the finish is more acidic. We’ll see if it changes with some air time. — 22 days ago

Lovely nose. Dark fruit, ripe yet somewhat muted. Still a bit tight. Definite minerality, but also a clay earthiness. Powdered tannins. Nice mouthfeel. Well structured. Nice finish. First bottle of my 06s. Many many years left. — 3 days ago

2019 vintage. Ruby red. Nose a little shy. Red fruit, with some black coming in, minerality is strong, tannins still have a bite, but chalky and smooth, giving a nice mouthfeel. Needs a good decant now but I think this will have a good future in a couple years. — a month ago
