August 17, 2023 - Ripe, brooding, of a time when power ruled and perhaps not better for it. Not pruned but plenty of purple, grapey fruit, not a lot of wood evident. I probably wouldn’t choose this today, especially when it’s 102 outside. Nothing wrong technically, under screw cap

February 10, 2023 - This wine was big and powerful and still brooding after 10 years. Could have hone at least another 5, likely 10 …..

July 28, 2022 - Wine #6 at Rubaiyat blind tasting.
Potent blackcurrant flavour, initially mistook for Cabernet. Black cherry and some liqourice emerged, subtle eucalypt.
Looking very fresh and delicious, no sign of the hot alochol and early maturation in some 2013s so I think this will go strong for many years, maybe Darrys picked early and avoided the heatwave.
Significantly better than the 2013 Coppermine Rd, at least at this stage.2 people found this helpful Comment -
