    November 23, 2023 - Liked it lots. Clear, medium to darker red. Blackberry, liquorice and spice on the nose. On the palate, more black and red berries, graphite and white pepper. Great QPR.

    June 14, 2022 - Hard to get a read on this. Didn't decant and I feel it never really opened up but that might have been austere Grampians fruit talking? Sweet tangy fruits early, nervy, hesitant. Warmed up a touch late in the bottle. Structurally no worries and looks young at this respect at 7yrs. Really a 12yr+ proposition but not sure it will get better. Good value at $30 in the Park Hill Cellars 'back vintage' bin.

    March 21, 2021 - This bottle was more subdued than the previous bottle. Very good wine for $18.

    January 24, 2021 - Tasted blind, I would have said this had a heavy mourvedre component, for it was dark and briary and a bit wild. If I drank it as a GSM-type blend, then it was probably quite good. But it wasn't what I was expecting for a shiraz.
