December 23, 2022 - From a magnum, opened, but not decanted for a little under an hour before pouring. This was part of a 16-person magnum night with my wine group. Enjoyed by all, some were surprised that it was mostly Cabernet Sauvignon.

October 22, 2021 - Interesting that this is quite different from my notes of the previous bottle earlier in the year. Just goes to show the amount of bottle variation. Superb flavour and aroma. Well balanced and showing tertiary development. Fruit is still present. Tons of cedar n the nose.

May 29, 2021 - Surprising amount of bell pepper on the nose, cigar, red cherry fruit. Well balanced with good acidity and tannins. Fruit is a bit shy compared to the acidity and tannins, but is distinctly present. Good secondary development but not a lot of tertiary happening yet. Finish is medium long.
Quite enjoyable with grilled strip loin. -

February 16, 2021 - An excellent wine, large but not massive, with lots of complexity. This will easily age for another 10+ years but this was my only bottle - so I will have to find some more. I agree with some of the other notes that sufficient time to air is a must.
Quite deep ruby color, not yet showing any signs of age.
M+ strength aroma, dominated by dark berries and a little eucalyptus, mint and bell pepper - clearly Cabernet and again very little age showing.
Fairly high acid and full, grippy but soft tannins give this wine a great structure that balances the juicy dark fruits very well. Flavors match the nose, but the secondary and tertiary flavors - leather, caramel and vanilla - clearly coming through and dominating the long finish. Quite a full body.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 30, 2021 - It has now reached its right drinking window. Amazing. Super deep dark cherries, leather,
cedar wood. Not your new world fruit bomb but an incredible Tuscan Cab with its own uniqueness.
