  June 21, 2022 - Still good. Opened 2 hours prior and it was a little tight Balance isn’t quite there anymore as the fruit is limited but everything else is. Don’t try to save any longer

  November 25, 2020 - Last bottle of three, not as impressed this time, but still great qpr at 15€ with this aging.

  September 27, 2020 - Well matured typical Shiraz in its category. Lush and fruity, tannins on the softer side. Good qpr, will try to get more.

  December 22, 2019 - 2 years on from KillerJones’ comment and the review could have been written today (Dec 2019).
  
  A big wine that retains its structure but without the tab is of its youth.
  
  Agree with Matt that it is unlikely to get any better but will likely last many more years.
  
  Consumed after a bottle of 2010 Tim Adams Alberfedy (circa $50) it stands on its own. Enough said.
  
  If every vintage was this good I would buy a case (or two) every year to lay down. My 2015’s aren’t showing as much promise, but who knows, they may suprised me (I hope so!! As I form thave much 2010 or 2012 left!!)

  October 2, 2017 - The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like ethanol and cool/menthol. It tastes like fur, cool/menthol, barnyard, petrol and hay/straw. The body is medium. The wine has narrow texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
