April 15, 2024 - Bright blackcurrant fruit with a minty edge. Cocoa and tobacco.
Great freshness on the palate with fine tannins. Dried blackcurrant and vanilla emerge on the persistent finish.
Drink now or hold. -
Decanting Queen Likes this wine: 90 points
December 14, 2023 - At the end of it’s peak now, on the downslope but very enjoyable. Mature but complex intense nose of rich plummy fruit. If only the palate had matched the intensity this would have been 3-4 points higher. Pnp and consumed relatively quickly before and during dinner so not sure if this might have put on more weight if we had left it to decant for awhile.

December 6, 2023 - NobleRottersSydney - Marg River & Great Southern (Fix, St James, Sydney): {screwcap, 13.5%} [DavidH] Vivid garnet. Black olive and currants. Subtle oak only. Soft and very drinkable palate. Fruit-driven it seems, never unripe; medium acid, medium dusty tannins, medium weight. Good, even palate balance. Even, medium-length palate. At a stroke has swept away all the prejudice I held against this label from the nasty greens vintages they offered through the 80s, 90s, right up to about twenty years ago. And justifying the ‘sleeper’ nature of 2011, was better than the 2010 bottle we tasted afterwards. Amongst the big name CS bottlings from MR, this has always been the cheapest; it might be a bargain to judge by this.

August 8, 2023 - On day two really came around to have a beautiful black currant character to it. Supple on the palate, with a touch of a green edge, but in a pretty way.
