December 12, 2016 - Ash, Cherry, raspberry and some musk. Good fruit power, has both savoury and sweet elements. Good flow and acidity. Drinking spot on now.

June 21, 2014 - Cellar Favourites: Meaty, floral, graphite and some blackberry - this has really grown in complexity and depth over the past 9 years. The strong fruit remains but the balance is great and there is a lot of interest. Drinking fantastically well at this moment.

June 22, 2012 - Not sure what to make of this wine. It's not awful as such, but there seems to be something not quite right... Colour is a red and plum.. The nose is blackberry and strawberry, but rather muted, dusty/earthy and resinous. Tastes of strawberry and cherry, with a finish that's somewhat bitter with a silly metallic aftertaste. Brett? I really don't know, but other people think so.
