  Drank over two nights. Better day-2. Beautiful black fruit, powerful and yet restrained. Drink now with moderate decant or hold for another 5-7 years.

  Two years after my last bottle, decided to see how this is progressing. Still seems like a very young wine. Opens very slowly. Better on day two, but still pretty tight. Blackberry fruit slowly emerges, along with licorice, tobacco and eucalyptus. Licorice lingers in the finish.

  Drank over 2 nights. I actually liked it better on day 1 because there was more intensity.

  Pnp. Blueberry and blackberry. Full bodied and smooth. Soft tannins. Med-long finish. Good not great.

  Kept moving this around the cellar so finally decided to open it early. Just keep staring at me. Great wine; lacking only a bit of depth and finish. Starts with blackberry fruit (like many WA wines - where the blackberry thrives). But secondary notes of pipe tobacco, spice and eucalyptus. Recommend waiting a few more years as this will continue to get better.
