  April 23, 2023 - ruby color; nose of sois bois, cedar chest and blackberries; strong fruit-forward, even 17 years later! Blackberry stew, plums, lil' smokies and cigar box. Very pleasant, especially after an hour's breath.

  October 19, 2019 - Inky black/plum color; nose thick with stewed blackberry and smoked ham; thick taste of stewed blackberries, smoked ham, tending towards toasty cedar and spiked punch. Fully-integrated tannins, good acid/fruit balance, which is remarkable for a 13 yo screwtop wine!

  December 21, 2016 - Good twisted and poured but significantly better the next day. Impressively opaque black to the edge with no off putting alcohol vapors or oxidation, just an intense blackberry smell with a brush of smoked meat. Very velvety in the mouth with adequate but subdued acidity and tannin, and no heaviness or overt sweetness. The swallow glides down with a burst of blackberry, black plum and black currant fruit, plus an undertow of acidity good enough to end refreshing. Unusually enjoyable and delicious for a Barossa wine without being ponderous or over ripe.

  March 20, 2011 - Nice mid-week wine. Still a bit hollow when first opened, but builds as it sits. Day two things were smooth and very enjoyable. Went well with the breaded chicken we were eating.
