  October 22, 2020 - I’ve had enough of these to be sure I’m not a fan! Green, mint, earthy nose now. Big. Just not me.

  September 28, 2020 - Strong menthol on the nose. Mint, cassis, herbs. As per my other notes- not sure this is for me.

  March 22, 2020 - Appearance: medium ruby with garnet at the rim
  Nose: medium plus intensity, aromas of dark plum, prune, tobacco, dark chocolate, violet, toast, fennel leaf, licorice. It’s developing.
  Palate: dry, high acidity, high tannins (powdery), medium alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity. The finish is medium plus as well.
  Overall, it’s a very good wine. Can drink now, but has potential for further ageing.
  In the first 30min, I almost mistakenly think it is Shiraz, because of the ripe fruit and lack of herbal notes. After 1.5hr decanting, the minty and eucalyptus notes become quite prominent and a little like Clare Valley Cabs. Interesting!

  February 15, 2020 - Heavy in sediment and earthy notes, this bottle felt over the hill. Other bottles haven’t been like this.

  April 17, 2019 - Cork. Still quite dark. Black fruits, sweet spice. Palate is rich and flavoursome, with plush tannins to give it a medium to full feel in the mouth. This bottle seemed pretty youthful. Delicious, but probably pipped by the ‘99 Moss Wood served alongside.
