September 6, 2019 - Impenetrable black through to the edges. Full bodied, lashings of ripe berries and plum. Background chocolate, smooth tannins and acid in balance. Good mid palate and length. A little dry on the finish, probably the 16% alcohol, a good wine but not for the faint hearted. Recommend it be consumed with food. Would have scored 92 but for the alcohol level.

January 12, 2018 - An intense shiraz. Quite smooth but not displaying characteristics of an aged wine after 6 years cellaring.

September 16, 2016 - Excellent Ringland. Full flavoured. Benefitted from a short decanting. A bit youthful - will only improve with age.

May 22, 2016 - Opaque in the glass, ruby at the rim. Savary but bitter on the nose with staranese eucalyptus and licorice . The pallet is sweet with stewed fruits. and Forrest floor mushrooms on the back. Finishes a little hot. 16%...!! tannin's are fine. Overall a good wine without being great. Will revisit in 4 years. 5 +8 +13+ 8+ 8 = 92.
