2020 fall. Sometimes I wonder why I bother with more expensive bottles when de Villaine is around. Of course, prices are creeping up and they now have a range of more expensive bottlings too... — 5 years ago
202 spring / summer. I wonder if my ratings are suffering from inflation, but the truth is often I would be happy doing all of my drinking from de Villaine’s range.

Cork intact. Excellent condition. 45second finish wonder how long these bottles can be held for — 6 years ago
Deep ruby/purple; pronounced intensity aromas of blueberry jam, dried black plum, juicy blackberry, vanilla, cream, toast; dry, medium acid, medium ripe tannins, high alcohol, full body, pronounced intensity flavors consistent with aromas; a big jammy wine but well balanced with structure and oak, very hot — 5 years ago

Outstanding! Cocoa, cooked black cherry, cooked black plum, liquorice, raspberry sauce, leather, deli meat, and much more. Integrated oak with notes of vanilla and toast. Ripe tannins and long, long finish. Delicious. I wonder how much further it could go!? — 4 years ago
