March 30, 2018 - Enjoyable but get a bit dull with age. Whilst some nice cool climate spice etc still distinctly Australian.

April 15, 2017 - Complex and delicious but combination all starting to fade. Some cool climate spice and pepper but still with a twang of distinctive Aussie Shiraz.

July 3, 2014 - Consistent with previous note, though maybe opened up even more on the nose with a hint of eucalyptus or menthol. Really pleasant drinking on a mature red perspective.

February 17, 2014 - Popped, decanted and poured. Deep colour fading to garnet. Delicious earthy, Spicey nose. Very moreish. Still nice dark berry fruit but overlaid strongly by pepper/spice, slightly mossy oak and a nice chocolates finish. Stayed fairly consistent over the evening, probably peaking after about half an hour in the air and then holding that line. Not going to get any better and probably starting to just slide down the peak, so drink the rest soon.

October 22, 2013 - Rich mature hue - bright but rusting throughout the wine. On the nose - lactic, coconut, American oak nuanced wine with earthy notes and warm Indian spice. Resolved in the mouth with considerable US oak and plenty of fruit presence and acid cut. Savory and complex, with really gorgeous opulent fruit, this is an outstanding showing for this wine. Meaty complexity is a feature of this complete wine. Finihses with deep raspberry and mocha complexity. Fans of fully mature Aussie wines wil really appreciate this but fans of fresh and youthful wines may find it a little tired.
