February 7, 2024 - Decanted for two hours, and followed over the following three hours. Dark ruby colour. Black currant, dark cherry, plum, some chocolate, cedar, cigar box, graphite, and spices, with medium-level acidity, firm, well-integrated tannin, and very good length. Medium-bodied, medium complex, with average to good concentration and good balance. In the classic mold. Kept improving as time passed, and was in the zone after three hours in the decanter. A glass saved for day two was consistent with day one. Drink now with aeration, and over the next 10+ years.

October 31, 2023 - Coravin fun - Lynch Bages (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Brambly, leathery, a little fruit tea and red liquorice, cigar box. Juicy, fleshy, very slightly sour brambly fruit, plentiful grippy and woody tannins are aa little coarse, tertiary notes joins on the finish. Hmm, not sure where this is going. It's nice but the tannins are a little bit on the big side for the flavours.

September 23, 2023 - Double decanted and drank after 3 hours…purple color, big beautiful nose of dark and blue fruit and cedar smokiness. This wine is in prime drinking window. Very smooth, excellent fruit, silky tannins and delicious finish. Big upside surprise after the last bottle and huge crowd pleaser.

April 11, 2023 - Clearly past peak. Some structure left but most of the fruit and tannins are gone.
