  March 26, 2015 - DnP. Dark garnet red, yellow rim, 6. Ripe spicy bouquet, eucalyptus, rubber, dad red fruits. Intense harmonious palate, much fruit, tannin, long finish. Drink now or wait.

  March 23, 2012 - Intense dark inky black with crimson hue, plenty of spice on the nose, with blackberry, vanilla and a touch of floral. It has a savoury, meaty character on palate, textural mouthfeel with black fruits, oak, spice and coffee. Medium+ finish with fine and mouth coating tannins. Pretty nice wine but still not good enough to impress me.

  November 6, 2010 - A bit sharp at this stage, probably to do with the 15% alc. I'm going to leave for a couple of more years before trying again. [screwcap, 15% alc]

  April 17, 2008 - Not bad. We were eating fried chicken and wanted a red wine. Decided the viognier might add some acidity to cut through the fat from the chicken. It actually worked pretty well in that regard.
  
  It's a nice wine, but for the price, there's much better available. Not worth the $
