| | Tasted by andrew.cameron on 1/8/2023 & rated 92 points: Rich and full bodied. Some primary dark fruit remains. Tannins are well integrated and smooth. Coffee and chocolate dominate, alcohol is noticeable but not out of balance. At its peak. A (194 views) |
| | Tasted by empire80 on 6/18/2020 & rated 92 points: Looking at my last note there is obviously significant bottle variation, but this was a fantastic bottle, still well within its drinking window. Prime red fruit, spicy licorice, classic Barossa Valley and excellent value. (391 views) |
| | Tasted by jmcmchi on 5/7/2020 & rated 92 points: So, my last bottle from the same batch, and this still had a good few years life left: light brownish tint on rim, totally healthy cork, beautiful aromatics
Drunk with a Basque dish, enough restrained power to show dark fruit, supple tannins and a dash of black pepper on the finish. Then, with Camembert, succulent.
Current prices from this vineyard are well over $100. This is an absolute bargain and a relative steal (442 views) |
| | Tasted by empire80 on 3/28/2020 & rated 88 points: Somewhat beyond its peak but holding on for now, not much fruit but plenty of licorice and savoury elements. Drink soon. (414 views) |
| | Tasted by jmcmchi on 11/10/2017 & rated 89 points: Starting to show its age after an hour or two. On the down slope
Ripe flavours, tannins soft, medium textured finish (575 views) |
| | Tasted by DonalOB on 3/23/2013 & rated 89 points: Recommended by the bottle shop but not nearly up to the quality of the others. Primary and simple, and alcohol on the nose. Blueberry with medium acidity and recessive tannins and not very long. Nice wine for gargle but not a keeper. (1329 views) |
| | Tasted by Zweder on 9/16/2010 & rated 90 points: Not so many notes. Soft chocolate, dark fruits. Long finish. Fully mature. Drink now or soon. (1640 views) |
