  Dense purple ruby color, Decanted 2 hours. Earthy nose, dark plum and berry waning fruit, leather, long finish. Very compatible with lamb chops and roasted vegetables on a winter night.

  Oh jeez, this stuff is painfully intense. Super extract, peppery, sharp. A lot of interest, but not universally liked by the tasters.

  Lost a little fruit with age as expected but still had great colour - a little bricking - and balance. Decant and let breathe for couple of hrs. Finished the bottle two days later and still as good maybe a bit better. Congrats to Clarendon Hills.

  World Cup final BBQ: Thought this was a new-world Pinot with age but after being told that this wasn’t a Pinot I thought this must be a Shiraz given that I made the same mistake with an old Astralis before. Sweeter and simpler than the Astralis but the difference in quality is much more marginal than the price differential. A pyrazine note emerged with time in the glass that made me think there was some Cabernet.

  Notes from ARA KAFAFIAN a few months ago are spot on a few months later.
