January 19, 2019 - Lots of reduction upon opening the bottle, let breath a good 15 minutes, either in the glass or carafe. Once it clears, the nose is full of dark plums and black pepper. The palate is fairly elegant and well structured, with dark fruits up front transitioning to woody spices and finishing on a perfect balance of alcohol, acid and silky tannins. No jam on this australian jewel. Drink now and the next year or two.

September 10, 2016 - Needs a bit of air to be expressive after a few years under the screw cap. Red fruits on the nose, but nothing too jammy. The palate is also brighter than typical old world GSM, this is New World after all, but this is not overly extracted, giving a very elegant wine with a very balanced finish.

August 17, 2011 - GT Wine Magazine Top Tasting Grenache (Sydney): Ruby medium minus intensity
Medium minus intensity red fruit, leather, slight perfume
Red fruit, grippy tannin, leather, warm alcohol and long finish. A little simple but beautifully balanced and eminently quaffable. Very pleasant indeed.
