November 12, 2022 - Wines at Jordan's wedding: Everyone managed to guess this as an Oz Shiraz with dense, dark blue fruit. I really dislike wines with overt vanilla on the nose and chocolate on the palate. Too clunky and sweet.

October 2, 2022 - Dark red colour - quite dense. cassis, black fruits on nose. Lovely flavour - dark fruits, vanilla, leather and a little bit of aniseed. Very smooth mouthfeel with a long finish. This is drinking very well and is very enjoyable. Probably could go for another couple of years - wish I had more bottles.

June 3, 2022 - Appearance - Deep ruby with a garnet rim (3)
Aroma - Black fruits, chocolate, eucalyptus, smoked meat, hint of coffee (4)
Taste/Texture - Vanilla and liquorice into black fruits. Mintiness on the finish. Velvety tannins, everything well integrated. Med-full body, with just enough acid to keep in balance (5)
Aftertaste - Lingering, creamy black fruit and vanilla. Excellent length (3)
Overall - A pleasure. Some years left in it, but drinking well now. Opened up in the glass over an hour (1.5)
Total Score - 16.5/20 -
