  June 12, 2022 - Cabernet (and blends) celebration (Ben and Estella's place, Parramatta): Served blind.
  medium minus intensity aromas initially, meaty, savoury, earthy, cream, leather, a little red over black hued fruit. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity, red over blackcurrant again, leather, chalky tannins persist long hand in hand with the fruit. Very nice.

  June 11, 2022 - From Coravin. Final shall I shan't I decant decision for Sunday lunch. Another 'No'...this is very much pop and pour...herbaceous notes initially on the nose backed by a little black fruit and some sweet spice. Juicy, red and black currant on the palate, soft tannins offer a little tug at the tongue, the herbaceous note is present but in the background.
