April 28, 2024 - A wonderful example of aged Coonawarra Cabernet, drinking beautifully. This was a magnum, sadly the last magnum in my cellar of this lovely wine from a fabulous vintage. If you have a 750ml bottle, I’d suggest drinking soon as this wine will probably not get any better from here.

November 24, 2020 - Geez, this is so good and just barely getting started in its evolution. So much eucalyptus, pencil shavings, soil, currant, wet tobacco. Fresh, buoyant, youthful, serious, but easy to drink. This is how Cabernet is supposed to taste.

August 21, 2020 - Garnet/ruby color with some cloudyness, cork was soft and broke on opening. Beautiful aromas of cassis and herbs, leather and some forest floor/mushroominess. On the palate stewed plums, cassis, touch of licorice. Medium- alcohol and good length. Wine is in perfect shape and drinking in its prime now. Last bottle, wish I had more,
