Violet, mushroom, green olive, raspberry. Juicy on the palate. Red fruit and bright acidity with soft, smooth tannins. Lingering olive and raspberry. Lovely, drinkable stuff. Almost like a love child of Syrah and Pinot Noir. — 2 months ago
Previous bottle opened a few months ago was very tired, but tonight we are back to form. Plenty of ripe and lean orchard fruit with a drop of lemon. Lots coming through for a village wine, both in terms of flavors as well as density. Very good now. — a month ago

This is drinking well right now. Tannic but lush and quite open. Long finish and love the acidity here — a month ago
Crimson with a cherry red tinge. A certain pong on the nose - a cowyard note but not off putting - I like it. On the medium bodied palate black fruits and sour cherry. Highly savoury on the palate. The cowyard notes remained throughout the 3 to 4 hour time frame to consume the bottle. I drink very few Loire Valley reds but on the basis of this wine I should drink more. — 2 months ago
