July 18, 2022 - Very pleasant. Berries on the nose. Soft spicy cherry and fine tannins on the palate. Finished a bit short.

September 8, 2014 - Bibendum Trade Portfolio Tasting 2014: Spice, stalk and cherries. Palate shows some of the stalk and a fair bit of ripe fruit as well. Good.

August 25, 2014 - Pretty lifted nose. Purple fruits cut with minerals. A bit short and sharp but pleasant.

July 30, 2014 - Red Wine Gala Tasting (VC Double Bay): Carbonic character, cherry with stalks as well. Sweet and bright fruit on the palate. Okay but not as good as a year prior, I still think this will have been best on release.

August 28, 2013 - Bibendum Portfolio Tasting: Cherry and light earth. Good spice and texture to the palate with a pinch of bright fruit, medium length. Drink now while the bright fruit persists.
