    January 7, 2023 - Classic shiraz. Not a fruit bomb, but very elegant. Pop and pour. Got better and better. Nice peppery finish. Not showing its age. I wouldn't hold it for years though.

    October 23, 2022 - Rich and concentrated, spicy liquorice, black fruit, this is at its peak but no rush.

    November 27, 2021 - Slight bricking at edges of glass, but drinking beautifully right now, 14 years after its release. I'd say drink now though.

    The Sky As My Roof Wine 6

    The evening wound to a close with a beautiful Two Hands Garden series wine. The Lily's Garden was still youthful, with a spicy nose of blackberries and eucalyptus. Palate was rich, lush, and finished long and strong. Hard to stand out after this lineup, but here Lily's was making me think if it was WOTN. It wasn't, but it was mighty, mighty good.

    QPR 7.5 (of 10)

    Aging 2026 at least

    March 27, 2021 - Similar notes to other note contributors... Wine has aged well. Dark purple/red hue. Mix black fruits, blueberry, rich, smooth, mellow, black berries, earthy, nice finish. Nice juice!
