I tasted the 2019 vintage of this wine on 19 Jul 2020 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The color was medium-deep ruby red. The bouquet had dark cherry, light earthiness, and medium tannins. There was full cherry, pepper and light spice, and a medium oak finish. This wine was a smooth, well integrated style, with quite strong fruit, and medium body.
I tasted the 2020 vintage of this wine on 27 May 2023 when it was 3 years old and gave it a rating of ok+.
The colour was medium clear ruby red. The bouquet had strong spice and fruty cherry. There was full cherry fruit, herbs and spice, and a quite long dry tannic finish. This wine was quite complex with well integrated flavours.

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.
