  August 7, 2022 - Fell just short of living up to expectations. All afternoon breathing and with dinner it started out as a fruit bomb, but smoothed out during dinner and afterwards, more elegance and fewer rough edges. Definitely a Barossa Shiraz (varietally correct), but the fruit could have stood to be just a click more restrained to allow it to fully shine. Undecided on repurchase of other vintages.

  January 17, 2022 - Dry, full Bodied wine from ripe fruit with high acidity and tannins. Alcohol is high 15% and flavour intensity is pronounced but without enough complexity/elegancegiving. Flavours are cooked black fruit, plum and cherries, charred wood, tar, tobacco and chocolate. The finish is medium. Drink now but Will keep for a few more years.
