  January 13, 2024 - Absolutely fabulous!
  Still lots of fruit flavours on the palate and no amber edging in the gkass.
  Tile red colour, very bright.
  Still a few years left with this one.
  Magic pairing with grilled Moroccan spiced spatchcock.

  November 13, 2023 - Bewitching nose of leather, cocoa, cinnamon and sandalwood.
  
  Full mouthfeel, with a magnificent touch, it is velvety, with sweet aromas of liquorice on the attack. Then the juice increases in power and complexity, with intense flavors of menthol, leather and black fruits. It is intense but always with a beautiful freshness, which allows the wine to be at the same time sapid, complex and of a rare density. The silky texture is a treat. Great minty finish on warm spices with great length.
  
  An excellent Shiraz, picked at full maturity and which proves that these wines can age harmoniously. Its texture, above all, is a pure delight.

  October 15, 2023 - Deep red/purple colour in the decanter without any visible signs of age, and an earthiness to the bouquet. Beautifully silky smooth in the mouth, with a medium/full weight and great length. The wine is well balanced and drinking beautifully, still at its peak.
  
  Opened with a Durand and decanted using a Venturi for two hours before drinking.

  December 2, 2022 - Leathery, spicy, menthol aromas, black cherry and liquorice.
  
  Full and pretty silky palate, lots of complex quality liquorice notes, excellent acidity and lift. Pockets of concentration of ripe dark berries, layers of soft liquorice and leather. Resolved tannins.
  nicely balanced and good energy.

  January 25, 2022 - Superb medium body texture with a glorious mouth feel.
  Sublime purity of fruit, dark and some red, plenty of spice on the finish.
  Bought at Scenic Cellars Taupo NZ, waited 15 years to drink and now feel very well rewarded.
