April 1, 2019 - Nice funk and nuance on the nose. Thinner than desired on the palate, and yet a little tannic on the finish. Past peak but still showing some signs of what it likely once was. 91-

January 31, 2010 - Pure, fresh and energetic. Aromas of cedar, leather, pepper, purple flowers and dark briary fruits. It has a lovely balance between sweet and savoury in the mouth and the tannins are all but resolved resulting in a wine of smooth texture. There are no hard edges but it has a muscular feel, a perfect accompaniment to a wonderful piece of scotch fillet.

October 5, 2009 - Opened 10/3/09. Two ullaged about one inch. Third full but its cork had fallen into bottle. All quite undrinkable and discarded.
