December 27, 2020 - PnP. Medium dark red. Dark fruits on the nose; rather austere on the palate with more dark fruit and significant tannins and acidity on the finish, This could improve with age but not really sure. Disappointing.

March 22, 2020 - Interesting granola character stands out in the restrained bouquet. Very polished berry compote palate. Long finish. Not quite awake yet.

June 9, 2019 - Very earthy and herbal - plum notes. JS 96 and DM 96 so hoping to see this open up over the next few years.

June 5, 2019 - Heavy and closed, with a hint of oxidation. Dark savoury flavours of earth and leather, plenty of oak, and some berry fruit, but all very tightly-packed. Seemed to have potential, but didn't open up after over an hour in the glass.

October 7, 2018 - Pinotpalooza (Carriageworks, Redfern): cheesy and meaty, a little gamey, black hued fruit. On the palate it's tart with tight tannins. Meh.
