November 13, 2021 - Still very enjoyable after all these years but softer and not as complex. One of Sarah and Sparky Marquis' early wines. It's past its peak but still very soft and enjoyable.

January 11, 2020 - Although I may not give it as high a score, PSDYCP (below) pretty much nailed the description of this wine. I rarely drink Aussie Shiraz and got this bottle as part of a mixed lot bid. Fun to try

November 16, 2019 - Clear medium red. Roasted, ripe, black cherry, vanilla and cola nose. Rich cough syrup flavours and a huge ripe finish.

November 13, 2018 - surprisingly good bottle of wine. Nice structure, pepper and berries. This was probably past peek but still enjoyable.
