  Rich and ripe black fruits with sweet spice and faint liqueur, but able to maintain its balance. Well spiced and wonderfully vibrant for its age, this is at a great place right now.

  Lovely Syrah made by Maggie Harrison who learnt her craft under the auspices of Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non. Deep opaque garnet colour. Medium+ intensity aroma of cherries, plums, incense, black pepper, olives, violet, smoky and cured meat hints. Medium+ body, elegant and rich with smooth texture, intertwined smoky and floral plumy and boysenberry flavours, dried herb touches, medium acidity and medium velvety extra fine tannins.

  Same notes as Feb 2023. PnP. Rich, full bodied, smooth tannins, good fruit. It was better 5 years ago but still holding up.

  Pnp, drank over 2 days. So good...deep purple, dark fruit, pepper, soft tannins. Full bodied, teeth staining. Went perfect with a hearty homemade bbq chicken soup.

  This wine is still very young. Powefrul pure black fruit. Really well structured. Nor for the faint hearted. Fun wine.
