  November 3, 2023 - Medium depth of scarlet red, no bricking, with plummy Syrah and white pepper on the nose. Just opened so a little shy, but showing lovely balance and elegance. With time, red berries, cherry, smoke, graphite and a long finish with grippy, powdery tannins. The cherry, almost liqueur like, and white pepper stays with you at the finish of this lovely Victorian shiraz 18.5.

  March 17, 2023 - Shared this wine with friends at a wine night. It was extremely enjoyable and stood out for it’s balance and smoothness. Sadly this was my last bottle.

  February 8, 2020 - A very elegant and well balanced expression of Shiraz with a Northern Rhone feel to it. Opened and decanted for 2 hours. Dark purple color with a crimson hue. Red plums, violets and smoked meat on the nose. The palate is juicy, full and dry. Long, peppery finish. Already in a good drinking window with a bright future ahead.

  September 22, 2016 - Rich black fruit and spice on nose
  
  Spice and pepper at front, supple fine-grained tannins, controlled acidity all contribute to a powerful wine that maintains an unexpected elegance. The refinement and power last all the way to the pepper on the long tannin finish.
  
  Put away for a few years - the rating could go up as the odd edges still present are rounded off
