Feb 2020 decanted
Full bodied, quite tannic, suspect needs 4 or 5 years more at least in bottle, cedar wood, slightly almond with grainy feel. Very interested to try in 2025.

One of the best Primitivos around and specially when on Waitrose offer at £8 or less. Even, smooth and full bodied without any hint of the slightly cooked sense that this varietal sometimes exhibits. — 7 years ago

Very good Beaujolais if surprisingly firm for year 2007 and needing more time to open. Clean quite dark character if thin on fruit and not clear that will attain freshness of best village beaujolais — 3 years ago
