I tasted the 2023 vintage of this wine on 10 May 2024 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
The colour was light clear medium red. The bouquet had strong cherry fruit, and light oak. There was a fruity cherry start, and a medium dry oak finish. This wine had light body and flavours, and nice balance.

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.
