August 21, 2021 - third of four drank with braised pork shoulder. This 17 year old is drinking wonderfully. Rich and elegant dark fruits with licorice and earth. Drink or hold.

December 23, 2020 - I am sad for those who did not have a good experience with this wine. Cork was fine and intact - decanted for 45 minutes. Plums and a bit of grilled meat on the nose. Concentrated and layered on the palate with blueberries, currants, plums, blackberries and some fine earthiness. Still a bit of tannin to balance a long, semi-sweet creamy finish. No heat, no prunes, no fruit bomb - this is still exquisitely balanced. Well stored bottles with fine provenance likely have another couple of years at peak. Absolutely delicious!! 93+

November 22, 2020 - Very little fruit left and even less structure. Should have consumed 10 years earlier.

April 10, 2020 - From 75cl, literally rotten cork extracted over sweaty minutes with my two-pronged opener, wine ruined: TCA and mould and rot. Quite why a supposedly excellent Australian producer still chose to bottle a premium wine under inferior cork as late as the 2004 vintage is beyond my comprehension. Screwcap had already been established several years, ideology can’t have been the reason... Anyway, congratulations! Your disgustingly ruined wine successfully disappointed this consumer (who bought it on release and cellared it under perfect conditions). NR
