July 4, 2022 - Winsome, pretty dried red cherry - not complex, but succulent and lovely. Plush and broad, texturally compelling and palate saturating, if missing a real aromatic spectrum.
September 15, 2021 - Quite closed and unexpressive, atypically so.
January 27, 2021 - More closed compared to some bottles and a little grumpy. This one needed more time in the bottle. 94+
July 25, 2020 - Deep, balanced and displaying significant umami notes. Great bottle.
June 6, 2020 - Still firm, with tannin and soil notes dominating.
May 21, 2020 - Still young and firm with tannic structure and dark red fruit. Secondaries had not yet fully developed here. Much better after a couple of hours.
February 2, 2020 - Dense bottle showing dark fruit and damp earth notes. Good structure here, and with bottles such as this requires more time
June 23, 2019 - SLDS at Quay: Earthy, rose petals, cherry - savoury and pretty blend on the nose. Upfront there is still good savoury earth and red fruit presence. Really long finish. In excellent condition, likely fully resolved now but should continue to hold up. Lovely drinking.
May 24, 2018 - An ephemeral bottle and a true treat. Pale ruby color, clear, showing an incredible depth of deep deep soil earth and gravel with hints of such a delicate stone fruit words can’t describe. Rose, tea, mushroom, crystallized fruit. A prefect bottle I would Imagine.
March 3, 2018 - Paulee. Not a great context to drink this wine...
