  October 7, 2022 - Very good. Quite delicious fruit that tends more to raspberry than cherry, Excellent balance. Some earthiness that plays well off the fruit. Drink or hold.

  July 14, 2020 - Well I would give this a 90. It has a dark fuit nose and and well balanced reasonably long blackberry taste. Maybe there is a tinge which stops it being a great wine, but that's all

  July 18, 2019 - Working wine wine Seminar two Burgundy, Beguiling, Bewildering and Beautiful (Est. Restaurant, George Street, Sydney): Smells big and bold, blackberry and Ribena, again a little wood glue/volatile note, a little spice very savoury and earthy. In the mouth it's juicy, tight, quite young still, black fruit, I ripe, the tannins are silkier than the e.g. ata rangi's lending more of a fleshy feel, bit. with time a little stalks on the nose. Hmm

  July 17, 2019 - Transparent orange-red colour. Some upfront DMS/canned corn character. A bit of spice apparent in there too which is nice. Big sense of ripeness to the aromas, some almost cooked fruit. I get a vibe of a pretty mature wine on the palate. Ripe strawberry with almost some cassis/dark fruit flavours in there too. Jubey, sweet feeling, very bright-fruited. Structure is more acid driven here, with tannins way off in the background. Interesting wine.

  April 24, 2019 - Consumed over 2 days, re-screwed and stored on counter-top, note from day 2. Nose: Medium expressiveness, red fruit overtones - cherry - with blue fruit undertones - blueberry, with rusty earth, burnt matchstick, allspice, and subtle green notes - rosemary. Palate: Medium bodied, red fruit - cherry & pomegranate, great balance, spice driven mid-palate lift, earthy notes appear in the back-end. Finish: Medium-plus length 45-60 seconds, dominated by slightly tart red fruit, spice and earthiness. Quietly complex is the best summary I can give for this wine, I enjoyed it very much.
