  August 12, 2020 - Well made wine. Only complaint is that it is overtly salty, like many Barossa wines. Mataro has settled well. Good to go now.

  June 29, 2018 - Ruby coloured, dark fruit on the nose with hints of spice. Medium bodied with a hint of tannin and a bit of acid giving the fruit a pleasant tartness towards the back end of the wine. The wine is fruit forward, dark fruits like plum and cherries with hints of nutmeg and cloves. A bit of the oak treatment shows through in the finish with a hint of vanilla.

  June 27, 2018 - Clear, deep and ruby in appearance. Blueberry, liquorice, clove and violets, with predominate secondary notes of vanilla coming from the French oak with a little nutmeg. Decent finish. I was sceptical at first but this really integrated and balanced out after a couple hours open, but I don't feel it has the acid to carry it past the medium term. Drink over the next 3 years.

  February 17, 2018 - Black fruits, jubiness, herbs, spice, black pepper and liquorice savouriness. Lick of tannin. Excellent balance and length.

  September 1, 2017 - GMs - Casual Fridays September 2017: Blind. Pretty style - floral lift, violets, roses - citrus, spice and raspberry with licorice as well. Soft and round fruit, there is fine tannin weaved into the background. Good length. Not sure if it will improve with time but I wouldn't be surprised.
