I tasted the 2018 vintage of this wine on 05 May 2021 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was full medium ruby red. The bouquet had spicy berry, licourice, and vanilla. There was a fruity berry start, pepper, and a medium oak finish. This wine had medium body, and good balance.
I tasted the 2019 vintage of this wine on 25 Jul 2020 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
The colour was medium ruby red, with medium legs. The bouquet had full berry and light vanilla oak. There was berry and plum fruit, and a medium oak finish. This wine had smooth, well integrated flavours, lighter body, and moderate flavour intensity.

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.
