  December 21, 2023 - Slightly cloudy medium deep maroon/mahogany. Lovely nose, the New World fruit jumps out, but tempered by a decadent, earthen floor note. Smooth, well balanced palate, the fruit of youth has given way to other flavours more in the savoury range. Not that there is no fruit, just that the hoped-for evolution has occurred. Dry, good acidity, long finish. A lovely wine in full bloom. Wonderful now, if I had another bottle I wouldn't wait more than a year or two. Delivering the goods right now.

  December 4, 2015 - Initially closed, but it opened up after a few hours. Delicate notes of raspberries, rose petals, clove, and crushed minerals. A tad faded, but drinking quite elegantly.

  April 25, 2015 - Still plenty of fruit, but the alcohol was exposed. It still drank well after sitting open for a bit to let the alcohol blow off.

  December 19, 2014 - Savory and true to the AV Savoy Vineyard. Less fruit more herbal, bramble, pepper, earth, cola, spice. Well balanced fruit in the background. Benefits from air time.

  November 22, 2014 - I don't like this one as much as the 2006 Terra Nova from last night, but Kevin does, and says that this one doesn't have the acid bite of last night's wine.
  
  Nonetheless, this is my note! This wine, of which this is our last bottle, is more complex and longer, but not (yet?) as pretty. Earthier, richer, same length.
