December 19, 2023 - Sadly, very pruny and clearly over the hill. Too bad.

October 16, 2021 - Solid core of ripe blackberry with enough tannins to keep the wine well balanced. Drinking very well now but probably has a few years before it starts to fade

March 1, 2020 - For my tastes this is drinking very well. Big, but neither huge nor hot and blowsy as some aged Aussie shiraz wines from this period can be. flavorful, with resolved tannins, but enough acidity and structure to provide balance. I can't see this getting better, but maybe....92-93-ish

October 3, 2019 - Still a very interesting wine that needs an hour or more to open. Candied blueberries, slightly sour blackberries, menthol, some herbs and a surprisingly effervescent acidity quality.
