  July 1, 2023 - Ruby red, just a hint of fading on the rim at this point. Nose full of ripe black fruit notes – red plum and ripe blackberry - with a hint of leather and dustiness. Flavour, integration and structure are excellent – yes, it is powerful, but in a very harmonious well-balanced way. Combines fruit ripeness with a fine oak-driven backbone, and a touch of eucalyptus on the finish. It might get better, but it does feel like this is a wine being drunk at its absolute peak. One of the very best red wines I have enjoyed this year.

  February 12, 2023 - This wine is holding up really well still red fruited and no evidence of over ripe fruit.

  April 12, 2022 - This was interesting. Upon first opening and decanting, it was humming and I was raving about the wine. Fast forward 3.5 hours and it had dulled significantly, the last glass was flat and bland. I’ve got one more, and won’t be decanting.
