September 22, 2018 - A great Barossa bold Shiraz from old vines that will not disappoint. The first standout are the great legs that keep coming. Immediately you’re struck with a sweet, hint of oak on the nose...deep blackcurrant, slightly burnt fragrance lingering. To taste it has a hint of boldness without a punch yet not soft and flowery! Peppery flavour profile, hint of mandarin, sweet fresh apple & cinnamon, lingering sweetness on the back of the tongue. NOTE: benefits from time out of the bottle before drinking.

June 14, 2017 - The best of my three bottles. This also had plenty of dark fruit: blackberries, plums, cherries, but seemed far more 'in balance' than the other two, with smokey wood chips, forest floor and exotic spices taking you to your local Indian restaurant. It was a real pleasure drinking this bottle. Medium+ finish, smooth tannins.

March 9, 2017 - Still deep red in the glass. Luscious dark fruits here: plums, blackberries and sour dark cherries. The tannins are fine, and there is savoury spice and smokey wood chips on the palate. Slightly tart finish.

January 15, 2017 - The fruit has receded in this bottle, though there is still plums, blackberries and a hint of sour cherry. The nose has plenty of cedar oak and savoury spice. Tannins are fine, but still present and the finish is medium+ A much better 2002 than the Yarra Yarra last night.
