August 2, 2023 - First Wednesday Wine Club (Francobollo, Haberfield): "Served blind
Blackcurrant, a little brett, cream, aniseed. Medium plus intensity acidity, ripe black fruits, touch of fruit tea, plentiful talc textured tannins, alcohol warmth on the finish.
Controlled Languedoc blend 2016ish" -

December 29, 2015 - Big, rich shiraz, with massive baked plum fruit. Needs food to balance its strength.

October 5, 2010 - Definitely more rhone style than barossa style. Quite complex but with good balance
