April 9, 2022 - After over 1 1/2 hours this wine isn't disappointing me at all. More berry flavours noticeable now and spicy plum. And chocolate coffee flavours too. A little hint of vanilla, but only just. But the finish ... very generous, the flavours just linger in the mouth with a touch of tannin puckering. Not sure why three bottles have already gone from the box as this is peak drinking now, and will be for a few more years.

June 4, 2021 - Drinking beautifully right now. Complex wine with melting tannins, dried red and blue fruits, game, black and white pepper and silky mouth feel. Amazing long finish that kept going over a minute. Delicious expression of Syrah from an iconic producer.

May 29, 2021 - Plenty of fruit, smooth as silk, structure, depth is fading I feel. Ready to drink and I would another today.

May 8, 2020 - Nez complexe, boisé, réglisse, cuir. En bouche, tout en équilibre, ample, puissant et longue finale sur le fruit et le cuir. Devrait tenir encore plusieurs années

6/8/2003 (link)(Penfolds RWT) Ya, wanna go to Hedonism Jamaica, mon. Well you don’t have to. Save yourself the money for a plane ticket and plop down $60-$80 and buy yourself a bottle of this. Redcurrants,coffee, chocolate, oak, oak and more oak .. . but I don’t mind it. And I usually mind oak. Mint, cinnamon, cherry extract, incense. Very deep nose, gets to the top of the nostrils. Super ripe palate but with supporting structure for all that hedonistic fruit. Succulent fruit. Spicey and peppery on the finish with long lasting fruit. Will age too. Super-fine grained tannins. Great stuff.
