Boudica Likes this wine: 93 points
May 11, 2024 - Pale ruby-violet , transparent, clear. Slightly subdued nose of dusty fennel seed, iodine. Bright acid, medium plus intensity of flavours with very sweet, almost liqueured purple fruit, mulberries, rosy-raspberry jam of Turkish Delight and dark chocolate finish. Fine sand-paper tannins, long finish, very well balanced. Delicious wine, easy to drink, with excellent structure - nothing is out off place. Very happy to have some more in the cellar.

Ashdene Does not like this wine: 88 points
January 14, 2024 - I have real problems with this blend of grapes. This one was quite pricey so I was hoping for better. Dull ruby. Medium intensity. Sharp fruit esters on the nose, mainly black cherry and blackberry. On the palate the acidity and alcohol were high. It finished with a strong taste of red liquorice. It just wasn’t very pleasant. We left half for the next day and a lot of the somewhat artificial aromas had gone but it left the wine quite flat and uninteresting.

August 31, 2022 - A bit underwhelming. A lightweight Shiraz that is brighter and simpler than I prefer.
