October 7, 2023 - Don’t think I’ve ever been let down harder. Expected so much from such a highly regarded wine. It was fine. Alcohol was hot. Felt pretty plain and 2 dimensional. As a value, I’ve never had worse.

April 30, 2023 - (2011) Deep garnet in colour. Excellent nose. Baby of the night, with so much potential in the bottle.
Warm vintage for sure, ripe red fruits. Extremely balanced wine with a long finish.
Looking forward to tasting it in the next few years. -

September 19, 2022 - Coats Family Cellar Tasting (Wine Cellar): Merlot from 7 hectares; Deep garnet, the bouquet is intense and complex with plenty of red fruit, spices, forest fruits, wet earth, dark chocolate and vanilla.
A soft, richly textured entry with so much depth and focus here. Fantastic development, this full-bodied wine is fine-grained, finessed and yet elegant with lively acidity. The flavours weave around the palate with dark 70% chocolate, vanilla extract, cinnamon, cardamom, black cherry and a hint of cigar. A persistent length and penetration of layers of complexity, the finish is supple with sweet cocoa powder tannins. -

August 5, 2021 - Pronounced nose of black currant and black cherries. Still firm tannins, with same fruits on the palate. Later some vanilla.
Will develop for many years in the bottle and reach new highs. -
