I tasted the 2020 vintage of this wine on 17 Jun 2022 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was medium ruby red. The bouquet had strong cherry fruit, and light spice. There was full cherry fruit, light spice, and a medium dry oak finish. This wine was fairly fruity with firm tannic balance.
I tasted the 2022 vintage of this wine on 26 Sep 2024 when it was 2 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was rich medium ruby red. The bouquet had quite sweet cherry fruit, and light spice. There was full cherry fruit, and a medium dry earthy tannic finish. This wine had a quite complex combination of fruit, earth, spice, and wood, with medium body.

Average (3.5):

Note 1: I am not really a wine expert (just an enthusiastic amateur), so please don't take my recommendations as anything more than a rough guide to these wines. I can take no responsibility if you buy a lot of this particular wine, on my recommendation, and then regret it!

Note 2: You may not fully agree with my evaluation of these wines, as a lot of this is quite subjective. I tend to put a lot of emphasis on complexity and intense characteristic and varietal flavours and bouquet, so if you disagree you might just have different priorities.
