April 13, 2024 - Refined and pleasant but with excitement fading. The fruit is reducing and I suspect it won’t improve further.
Dark impenetrable colour. Game, olive, leather, licorice, plum, blackberry on the nose. Savoury, gamey and tart plum, blackberry and black pepper on the palate. Tannins are still high and do need a bit of air. -

December 24, 2021 - Nice Syrah, still quite fruity with cherry flavour. Not very complex but starting to pick up tertiary smoky notes.

December 7, 2019 - Big wine with concentrated fruit nicely in balance with the acidity. Just starting to get some meaty tertiary notes.
