January 20, 2018 - This really opens up after two hours. After one hour it is complex but lacking structure and verve. Then it comes and the complete wine emerges. Medium tannin medium plus acidity. Great fruit, balance and structure.

October 2, 2017 - Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot blend. This is an intriguing combination of traditional claret (elegance) with something of the richness of McLaren Vale. If this sounds like a compromise infact it's a great success. Drinking well now but will last well at this level for 3-5 years I think.

July 20, 2015 - Weekly tasting group #176; Mature New World wines (@ WW): A somewhat special experience: At first the bouquet was very tertiary with tea, celery and currants. On the palate also celery, tea and cold coffee, some mocha and hardly any fresh acidity and completely melted tannin. However, after some more air time the wine became more fresh and improved considerably. Completely ready now and no score from me, but if you have any; try it and if necessary give it some time. It might be better than you think at first glance.

December 29, 2012 - Sorry drank these at varies stages and neglected to record them.
All can recall is they were delicious, and a big fat juicy Aussie wine. -
