December 24, 2023 - GSM (32/54/14). Pretty sharp on opening and doesn’t really soften with breathing. Ok with food.

May 23, 2023 - 54% Shiraz, 32% Grenache, 14% Mourvedre; 15 months in French oak. Color showing some age. Although there's some heat at first, it fades. Medium+ body. The texture is silky smooth at this stage. It's still primary. Lots of red and dark fruit, but not overdone with medium+ acidity. Not a lot of oak influence or tertiary notes from aging yet. On the second day, there’s more dried fruit notes, spice and meatiness, so secondary and tertiary notes starting to come in.

May 18, 2023 - Started like a very Aussie jammy shiraz, but as it opened over two hours the grenache and mourvedre started coming through. It integrated well by the end of the evening.

February 17, 2023 - Agree with jmcmchi - give this some time to breath. Opens up and becomes much more interesting over a couple hours.
