May 2, 2020 - Medium bodied, modern style. Cherries, bramble berries, wood, vanilla. Medium length volcanic finish. Priced appropriately.

October 8, 2018 - Dark red fruits, plum, prune, blackberry, cedar and oak, forest floor, bit of moss, perhaps a whiff of tobacco. Jammy, but not overbearing, this dark garnet, high alcohol wine is a tad tart and a bit dry. Long finish.

April 17, 2018 - Dark ruby colour. Saturated, dark berry nose with cocoa, leather and tar notes. Medium-full with great flavours and balanced freshness. Long, toasty, chocolaty finish.

February 17, 2018 - Brief notes only, tasted at annual NZ Trade Tasting London 2015.
Too easy, not enough structure for me; too soft and ready, I'm suspicious! Not dry enough for my style.
RR price £16.00......not quite worth that.
