  April 6, 2008 - Past its peak. Sweet nose with lots of cassis but fading quickly. Metallic finish. Past Storing is suspicious.

  January 20, 2008 - Consistent with previous notes. Not much fruit left but still holds a nice color. Finish again with metalic notes. Definitely needs food.

  December 31, 2007 - Nice surprise to see this wine still alive. Definitely needs food to soften the acidity. Very light fruit with cedary notes. Finish with a blood/metallic taste which soften with aeration and food.

  October 2, 2004 - Fill level midway in the neck, and the long cork came out almost in one piece - just an edge of the cork remaining at the neck, and this was easily removed. Long cork - in excess of 2". Colour remarkably good - deep mahogany, with a marked amber rim; fine aromas - primarily black currant preserves, with some raspberry at the edge, and whiffs of sawn cedar; easy entry, where the wine showed good structure, together with very good black currant flavours; velvety in texture and the flavours ease back in the finish to close down in a medium long aftertaste. This wine was much better in years gone by, but it still registers as a pleasing wine.
