I tasted the 2014 vintage of this wine on 04 Nov 2015 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok+.
There was a fairly clear deep ruby red colour. The bouquet had strong cherry and spice. The flavour showed full dark cherry fruit, with a long dry oak finish. This was a smooth, nicely balanced style.
I tasted the 2021 vintage of this wine on 13 Aug 2022 when it was 1 year old and gave it a rating of ok.
The colour was medium deep ruby red. The bouquet showed quite sweet dark cherry. There was cherry fruit, light spice, and a soft vanilla tannic finish. This was a fairly simple fruity style.

The colour was medium clear deep red. The bouquet had smooth cherry, herbs and spice. There was dark cherry fruit, and a medium dry light wood finish. This wine had lighter body, and was quite dry with moderate fruit.

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.
