October 16, 2023 - Better than the bottle I had a few months back. My wife still did not like it. We had different dinners which might be the reason. She had grilled steak and sausage. I had chicken cutlets in a chimichurri sauce. The wine held up to the sauce. Blackberries, Currents, tobacco and hints of spice. If definitely tasted better with food.

June 29, 2023 - Drank over two nights. The first night it opened to dark floral notes leading to a pallet of blackberries, blueberry, pepper and some baking spice. The finish was moderate in length. The second night the flavors were muted and flat and totally uninspiring. So 90 for the first night and 84 for the second night. I have a few bottles left which I will open when friends are around for a one night consumption

June 10, 2023 - It's gamey steak night...time for some slightly peppery syrah...Savoury but with pretty black fruits with a little peppery note, earthy, leather, touch of almost bonfire on the nose. Juicy, fleshy, blackberry fruit, slightly coarse tannins but this is really charming on the palate & superb with the steak. Lovely. With time the tannins soften and that little Bretty note from my last tasting starts to show. Yum.

March 10, 2023 - Coravin fun - Northern(ish) Rhone (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Savoury, meaty notes initially, black hued fruits, a little sweet spice, earthy underpin, smidge of upper. Juicy with quite a surprisingly Bretty note after the nose, muted black fruits, a peppery prickle is a little intrusive, chalky drying tannins. It's a bit out of whack. Hmm.

November 13, 2022 - Medium ruby. Still lightly tannic and acidic. Decent nose with berries. Medium finish.
