August 18, 2023 - Coonawarra Roadshow (Masonic Hall, Goulburn street): "Served blind
Blackcurrant, plums, sweet spice, mint, talcy tannins, fresh, flavours as per nose, long, balanced, quite elegant. Nice.
This was still quite primary but is integrated so, under screwcap, that could mean anywhere between 7 - 10 years old. I went with 2014 and successfully identified this as the Pyrus

January 24, 2023 - Day 1: Hallmarks of a good medium bodied red but just too young for me. Acid is poking above everything else, more so than the tannin. Definitely a food wine. Under screwcap this needs another 5 years to soften and mellow out to a nice tertiary phase. Screwcaps are a 2 edged sword, aren't they? No cork taint but slower development. finish is a tad too short and twist of astringency which is less welcome.
Day 2: Stable, no change.2 people found this helpful Comment -

May 31, 2022 - Dense dark core with a light crimson hue. Dry spicy aroma, tomato bush, pepper, turmeric, dark fruit. Plum, blueberry, milk chocolate. Powdery persistent tannin, fresh acidity. Medium to full body, long finish.
Requires a good decanting, still requires a few more years for my taste for the tannin to soften. Good quality, long life ahead.2 people found this helpful Comment -

February 12, 2020 - Very deep dark purple colour. Aroma of black pepper, light spice, dry oak, dried leaves. Flavours of Blackberry, plum, mulberry. Sweet up front, finishes with a touch of licorce.
