2014 drunk in early 2025. This has finally hit its stride. Deep, leathery, savory qualities with rich dark fruit and a solid tannic grip. I’m pretty bummed that this was my last bottle.  — 6 months ago

Fruity very well balanced and elegant and medium bodied , our favourite, can give hangovers!

Good. Alcohol not well integrated today and tannins a bit tough. Very aromatic. No shortage of fruit. Age will improve — 7 years ago
Better than my last bottle. More elegant and integrated. Med+ ruby red, though still faintly transparent.
The nose is pronounced with red raspberry, wild strawberry, charcoal, light notes of wood smoke, camphor, some notes if sandalwood and sweet violets.
The palate is med bodied, with fine grained med- tannin, medium acidity, with med+ palate flavors that are weightless and med+ in length. This is VERY good and best ever for me of this cuvee. — 5 months ago
High acidity and quite a lot of tannins, but well rounded. Black and blueberries with herbal notes. Excellent with food, quite good by itself. Needs to breathe a little. — 7 months ago

Chocolate and cherry on the nose, lots of depth both in the glass and in this poetry reading @amysaulderby #wizardtower — 7 years ago
Very very shy at first. Started light bodied but then unfurled in the glass. Blue and black fruit, tannins fine and fully integrated. Slight candied note. Not up there with Mogador but serious enough. Superb with the steak. — 7 months ago
2022. We loved the 2019 Martha Stoumen Carignan we had this afternoon, so we wanted to try this D&G when we went looking for another bottle. A bit darker fruit flavor and earthier, and took ~15 minutes to open up. A little more tannic bite but paired equally well with leftover kebabs. — 8 months ago
Sweet dried cherry nose with coriander and plum — 3 years ago
Delicious mouthful of wine. Black berry, creosote, oolong tea, mince meat. Fine long tannins. Solid. — 6 years ago
