All those months in wood show up as soon as the glass is under the nose. Ripe red fruit and sweet oak notes explode in a showy perfume. There’s more. Smoke, forest floor and a boatload of spices - cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg. On the palate we have amazing fruit, and why not? The merlot and Syrah handle that heavy lifting well enough. The Cabernet Sauvignon gives structure and focus. Additional complexity from the Sangiovese and Petit Verdot equal an embarrassment of riches.

I really like the name and the branding. It's buttery and smooth, well balanced, but not overly impressive.

Garnet red. Nose started off a little savory and gamey. With a little bit of caramel and burnt sugar. Finished off with a little bit of heat, dark fruits and floral notes too. Moderate tannins (6/10) with some raisins and heat. A little bit of strawberries on day two. Medium body that starts out strong before getting a little flat. Medium bodied with quite a bit of acidity. Drink from 2017 till 2021.

Slightly potent on the nose. Plum and cherry flavours. A nice little kick. I'd date you for a month, not tell my friends, while I secretly meet you behind a convenience store and enjoy our forbidden trists...
