    August 25, 2023 - Hmmmmm.....$19 and released as a 14yr old! Let that sink in. Classically structured in the best possible way. Wonderfully poised tannin and dry red fruits. If you'd told me classified BDX I would have agreed (albeit modest 5th). Love it.

    March 18, 2022 - 2022 - Dark ruby,, slight brown tinge. Very difficult to get the nose to open up. Chalky
    Dark earthy fruits, cassis, charry oak
    Solid wine.

    December 28, 2020 - Really really impressive. Balanced, smooth but still serious. Dark berry fruits with just a hint of bitterness before a blackberry finish. Tannins present but nicely positioned in the background with soft fur. Has 3 to 5 years ahead of it. Remains my favourite Australian winery.

    August 12, 2020 - Medium-dark ruby with some garnet, pale rim, some initial slight browning signs of development. Lovely bouquet of liquor cherries, musk, just-ripe blackberry and cassis, slight spice. Palate consistent, lovely fruit-driven characters, still juicy but with initial secondary savoury characters proving complexity, fine tannins proving slight pleasant grip. Medium finish, medium alcohol (turns out to be 13.5%). Delicious, perfect drinking now and for next few years. 94/100.

    March 5, 2017 - Colour: dark cherry red, hint of brick
    Nose: lots of dark fruit -- black cherry, plum, cassis. Blackberry jam. Liquorice, tar, aniseed? Juniper berries? V.slight hint of nightshade leaf. Earthy.
    Palate: plum, blackberry, cassis, perhaps plum. Juniper berry? Liquorice, touch of medicinal character, tar. old French oak. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon. Medium bodied, smooth, fine grained drying tannins, berry-like acidity. Really lovely, complex, long on the palate. Still seems quite young! 13,5% alcohol.
