In Jan ‘22 there’s not a lot left in this wine. Such a shame I forgot I had it. I’ll decant my remaining bottle… soon (very soon) and give it some time before drinking.

Not totally finished but pretty close. Well past it’s peak (Jan ‘22). But, this was a terrific wine in 2015/16. A shame I misplaced my two remaining bottles. Still, with a bit of air it’s quite nice and still has a hint of pepper that is synonymous with Canberra region wines.

An okay wine for the price. Should get a little better with more age.

Aromas and flavours of blackcurrant jubes, berry fruit, cherries, earth and spice abound on the nose and palate. Older oak hogsheads were used for gentle maturation so as to allow the natural fruit flavour and aromas to develop. Enjoy now or cellar for 7-10 years to release its full potential.

Drinking rather nicely now (Jan 21) though may not go on for too much longer. Try again in another few months.

Not a stand out wine but quite drinkable. Benefits from a bit if air.
