  January 27, 2019 - Probably 3-4 years past its best year, but some interesting fruit and a nice finish. Should have opened it earlier !

  September 13, 2015 - well balanced but lacking in fruit. Don't think it's got too many years left

  July 4, 2015 - Great value Bordeaux blend out of Coonawarra in sub-$20 category. Predominantly merlot at roughly 50% with cab sav and cab franc making up the difference. Smooth and elegant. Blackcurrant and some smokiness on the finish

  March 1, 2013 - A spicy nose of ripe blackberry and eucalyptus which works really well with the rich oak. The palette has some well-represented acidity and finishes with some grippy, but subdued tannins and a hint of sour cherry. Not complex by any means, but very well executed.
