November 16, 2022 - Absolutely singing. Funk on the nose. Blew off after a decant. High fill, well cellared. Fruit, tannin, balance, spice, harmonious. Yum.

August 24, 2019 - Wynn's Black Label vertical (Frank's place in Matraville): Pencil shavings, earth, a little eucalyptus, sweet blackcurrant and spices backed by cranberry and leather. A little volatile on the palate which lends sharpness to the acid, cranberry and blackcurrant, grippy tight tannins, slightly chalky, fruit persist and is joined by a little spice and a herbaceous element. Nice.

June 11, 2018 - Wow Just Wow. First from a full case I have had from release. By Coravin sample.
I was not expecting such an interesting wine. This is still going strong. Still very transparent red with no hint of brown. A little pong for the first few seconds and then opened up with delightful stewed fruit and ceder. It still has great length with soft tannin and good acid. Oak has fully integrated and still a hint of mint. Still some fruit but in general a great old wine.
You have to love the understated back label. A good vintage and " Excellent drinking for a few years." -

May 17, 2018 - GMs - Aussie Classics: Blackcurrant, licorice, black cherry and ash. Spice and black fruit on the palate, with the structure holding well. Perhaps the acidity stands aside from the fruit a little bit and based on this bottle it is probably time to drink these over the next few years.

May 13, 2016 - Excellent, as a year ago 13.5% alc? has aged perfectly and would live many years yet. Peter Douglas winemaker still.
Colour: deep black berry and dark chocolate, some browning at edges
Bouquet: mint, dusty leather, coffee and vanilla, cedar, black cherries and olives, very savoury
Palate: as bouquet, soft chewy tannins but some primary fruit still together with the developed secondary characters, full bodied, long clean finish. Some vegetal character, but not in decline by any means.
