Needs to cellared at least until this age. Still powerful & kicking you in the taste buds. Smoothed out and big round mouth feel now. Tannin just in the sweet spot.

Good wine, without reaching any great heights. Dark forest berries, plums, subtle spices, an earthy hint and smooth integrated tannins. A little mono-dimensional for me.

GMs - The Blending Sessions: Blackcurrant, graphite, pepper and some undergrowth. Ramped up sweetness on the palate, the savoury and spice notes on the nose don't follow through. The palate is distinctly Barossan in style.

Pleasure in a bottle. Ripe fruits and chocolate and probably a lot more going on but what matters here is the joy, the sensual pleasure, the ecstasy. Superb.

Deep and dense red/purple colour. Fresh almost sharpe nose with a feelling of high alcohol. Rich dark fruit that fills the mouth early but does revert to a dry tannin finish. This wine needs breathing so it can relax and mellow. Definitely a favourite of mine, reliable and good value.

Deep red/purple in colour. Spicy red nose. Big soft red with a lingering long finish. Maybe this wine is not complex but it has a big soft mouthfeel that is warm and comfortable. Good value.

Dense and dark red/purple colour. Strong fruit nose. Big and rich fruit on the palate. A big young Barossa red that is great value. Please decant and allow to breath to reward the patient.

Such a consistent performer. Another very enjoyable riebke, harnessing fruit and density which betray it's price tag. Deep dark fruits abound, a slight echo of oak. This label is becoming a bit of a go to in the sub 20 dollar price range.

Needs a bit more time, but still as expected - never disappoints.

Lovely wine, rich and syrupy, excellent nose and lengthy, balanced palate. Shame to swallow it...
