Good, and getting better as it opens. This was a surprise. At the start, it seemed to be on the downslope. But the wine woke up and worked well with the venison steaks we grilled. Wish I had some more!

Tight nose that hints of a sweaty sock. Taste is slightly sour cherries with a pleasant transition due to the nice tannins. Overall: Nice but that's about it.

Decanted for 30min and served. Purple colour with a very strong brownish hue, very “earthy” in colour. At first very tight nose, but after a few minutes got smells of cream cheese, cherry pie, and a dirt/earthy smell. Flavours of sour cherries and cherry cheesecake. This wine gives a medium length finish and has soft, almost unnoticeable tannins. Not bad for $25cdn.

Not so many notes, but the wine was completely ready and very supple and pleasurable.

Mint, seductive, sweet, typically bold in an Australian way. If this is your style, this is your wine. 17/20
