April 20, 2024 - This drank so much better than a much more evolved bottle consumed a couple of months ago. Deep purple in appearance. Ripe, sweet blackberry fruit with mocha and some iodine notes. Full-bodied mouthful of velvety rich dark fruit flows seamlessly across the palate with some spice and a pronounced dark cherry note. Well-balanced for such a big wine. A superb bottle and very enjoyable.

February 24, 2024 - It's been a few years since I've had a bottle of this. This has now tipped over the edge from the exuberance it had in its youth to a slightly past its best mature fruit bomb. Still an impenetrable dark colour but with a slight rusty sheen, a mix of sweet blackberry with some prominent pruney notes and its 15.5% abv very much in evidence. Almost too rich. Lots of mature fruit on the palate and with considerable length, but just lacking freshness. An hour decant improved the experience.

July 19, 2023 - Vinnørd. Dense and dark. Whif of acetone on the nose. Very powerful fruit bomb, but still nicely balanced and great length. Not my favorite style, but well made and winner of the 6 bottle Syrah tasting!

December 23, 2022 - A very very good aged Barossa Shiraz. All components seamlessly integrated into a very enjoyable vino.
