  March 20, 2024 - More shiraz than cabernet. Good structure and decent balance. The cabernet provides a tannin profile that adds to the structure. Acidity is fine and holds the wine together through to a medium long finish.

  January 22, 2024 - Drank over dinner with my wife. Very enjoyable wine, well balanced, good fruit, mellowing tannins and still an amount of acid on the finish.
  Most of my Doz remains, so I will enjoy it over the next five years

  May 22, 2021 - Pop 'n poured. Still very black-purple. Swirling deep set aroma of mulberry. oak shavings, sawdust, mulberry again. volumes of fruit, blackberry pastille with oak not yet integrated, acid still ok. This has years ahead of it (if I had any more bottles, which I don't) under Stelvin. A good meat wine if a tad fruit mono dimensional. I would give it another 5 years for the cabernet component to get some tertiary complexity notes and the excessive oak to soften and integrate. It certainly ain't going to run out of fruit anytime soon.

  July 26, 2020 - I opened a bottle on Saturday and set aside half a bottle for the Sunday night, however we had a family dinner on Sunday night and I opened a fresh bottle (same wine) which was consumed on the night. Tonight I finished the half bottle from Saturday with dinner.
  This is a luscious wine. The Coonawarra blend of Cabernet and Shiraz, no idea of the breakup, is an Australian benchmark. Full bodied, really well balanced fruit, acid, wood and smooth tannins. Loads of lush fruit, dark berries, plum and delicious length. Drinking really well now, however I expect this will cellar for another decade. If you have some, I recommend you put a bottle to the taste test, you wont be disappointed.
