December 28, 2023 - Humming along nicely at 15 years. I love the terrior of these wines, the soil and mineral, iron notes which really come forward to me. Complex. Savoury. Not a fruit bomb at all, just high quality red with a long finish and great structure.

January 9, 2022 - Not missing much over the last year. No nothing missing. Still very enjoyable and good for another.

July 21, 2020 - So much going on here as the bright notes are integrated with the dark fruit and spice. At it’s peak for complexity and balance. Long moderate acid and tannins finish. Wish I had more.

June 12, 2020 - Much better than the 2007 I had a couple of weeks ago.
Earthy & concentrated but without complexity
An enjoyable shiraz without an x-factor.
