    July 6, 2023 - The drinking window for this wine is not yet open but it is drinking very well. Hope there are some bottles left in 10 years!

    March 27, 2021 - Dark purple colour moving to a black core. Sweet spice aroma, dark berries, not overly dry. Cherries, blackberry, blueberry, capsicum, dark chocolate. More red berries than black. Sweet, in a good way. Fine persistent tannins, strong but not overpowering. Fresh acidity. Medium body with a long finish.
    Not a classic wine but OK, will be fine for the next 5 years but not a very long term proposal.
    Day 2 - more body, smoother. Similar flavour profile but more well blended. Almost some tomato added, but it could just be that I am cooking this time. Tannins less noticeable, still present but more integrated. Acidity less obvious. Improved from last night. Once again shows the gain from the patience I am lacking. Score moved from 90 to 91

    November 25, 2019 - The nose definitely has a dusty cabernet lift while the palate is a seamless blend of the two varieties. The acid structure carries the wine very evenly on the palate. It may fill out with a few more years in the cellar, but it is wonderful drinking right now.

    August 10, 2019 - Nice wine. Needs air and probably another 5 years. But enjoyable nonetheless

    April 30, 2019 - This started with bright purple fruits after a quick decant, but slowly faded after a few hours. I lost interest after the second glass. Maybe in an awkward phase? A bit ho hum at the moment.
