January 12, 2018 - French village level Pinot Noir in the later parts of life. Very nice drinking. Fruits predominantly blackcurrant and cherry which are holding on well due to the screwcap closure. Lacking a bit of complexity as the fruit drops off but amazing at this level for a wine of 9 years old. No oxidisation at all. 92 given value proposition , definitely drink now.

November 11, 2017 - What a difference 12 months makes. This has improved immensely. Was stunned to see prior review. Glad I've got some left. Quaffable price top quality wine. Demonstrates a blend of French and Australian tones but mixes well. Shame the project demised, GFC style. Not a long deep after taste as you'd expect.

July 9, 2016 - Not bad. Still has bit of life left but need to empty the cellar of these asap. Not worth $60 RRP - con? Glad didn't pay anywhere near that! Light and quaffable.
