October 25, 2019 - This has softened a lot over the last couple years, in the 2nd half of its drinking window now, drink over the next 12 months.
March 12, 2018 - Loved it - perfect balance, lovely fruit and depth and medium finish. Wish I had some more!
January 25, 2018 - In the decanter for 2-3 hours prior to tasting. Seems too young still, try again next year.
May 14, 2017 - Overall ok if not for the short to medium finish. Mouthfeel was velvety and luscious but lacked tannin structure.
May 14, 2016 - Very good for the price but felt a little short and thin beside2008 Jonh Duval GSM Plexus. Beautiful fruit indeed and highly recommendable. I liked it very much.
May 8, 2016 - {screwcap, 14.5%} In the mold of this label, which is to say that for me it always seems a bit shallow and short-finishing; never faulty, but just tasting like it’s made from high-yield grapes. Generic red fruit flavours, minimal oak and tannin, barely balancing acid; simple, unpretentious medium-bodied wine made to be drunk young and rather forgotten…
February 20, 2015 - Vraiment une belle surprise du nouveau monde.
Carafé 1h température pièce.
La robe est mauve grosse douceur.
Au nez , smell the new world solidement.
En bouche: vanille,un boisé bien intégrer, épice douce,poivre long,bleuets,myrtilles.
À moins de 30$ , à acheter à coup de 3 bouteilles.
Peut bien tenir la route pendant 7-10 ans sans trop de tracas à mon avis.
Bu avec un ragout de la fin du monde.
January 9, 2015 - Rich dark plum colour, this vintage is aging beautifully with loads of life left. The intensity of the fruit and spice combination really starting to develop, and that Northen Barossa Terrior is simply Devine!
December 11, 2014 - Brilliant from the get go.
August 26, 2014 - Opened about 2 hours before the BBQ'd Sirloin was ready. Lovely but still a little closed. Finished the following night and it was fantastic. Will decant next bottle for at least 2-3 hours.
