  March 20, 2015 - Such a luscious, vibrant and full bodied wine. The smooth flavours have it all; bursting berries mixed with spices with savoury and earthy overtones. Oh the tannin...so silky! Decanter for 90 minutes and give this classy wine respect. Best drinking till 2032.

  November 27, 2014 - Yarra Valley Shiraz lends itself to adopting the more stylistic Syrah approach, with consistently good examples showcasing briny olive, dense dark fruits and oak as a secondary thought. The 2012 Levantine is in this mould.
  
  The nose is seductive and rich with plum and olive benefiting from flashes of vanillin oak against old leather and violets. The plate is juicy and savoury edged with grainy tannins and fully integrated oak having presence and structure. The finish is layered with dark fruit, gentle spice and the faintest touch of white pepper. Excellent length.

  October 9, 2014 - Six nations tasting (Pyrmont): Aromas of cream, ripe black fruits, very slight spice…on the palate the fruit is a little tart - perhaps a touch of balsamic here - but overall it's quite nice.
