April 9, 2021 - My experience was in line with other notes, though I found the 16.8% abv well integrated given the concentration and acidity.

November 4, 2019 - - Brick color with slow forming legs and aromas of black currant, blackberry and cedar. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, fig, black pepper and vanilla with a full body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Decanted two hours. Slight blueberry pie on the nose.

April 28, 2019 - - Brick color with slow forming legs and aromas of blackberry, fig and tobacco. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry, black currant and black pepper with a full body. Round texture with a long finish - Decanted 2 hours. Heavy alcohol at open, gave way to round, rich Syrah. Perfect with smoked chicken dinner. Dark fruit finish.
