Quite surprised with the ageing of this 2017 drunk in 2024. A blood like scent (no Brett), followed by tons of primary, black currant, plums, sweet oak spice. Black.

Less than 7€, supervalue. To be consumed young, as it is. 2023, strawberry and raspberry candy, mouthful, pleasant, well made. Cannot thing of much better things at that price. — 19 days ago
Good concentration, expressive nose of blieberries, plums, liquorice, well integrated oak. Ample body and length, showing ypung this 2014, almost 10 years old. Powerful — 5 months ago
Expressive nose of red and blue feuit, mesium bodied, decent length and fine tannins, yet nothing exciting. — 6 months ago
