  August 29, 2023 - Supper with Frank (Loulou's bistro, Milsons Point): As per earlier notes tis is oxidised, meaty, a little pyrazine, liquorice, slight violet, brambles, mushrooms. Juicy, savoury, soy sauce, very slightly bitter and an almost Danish salted liquorice note, quite umami, talc textured tannins. Hmm.

  July 5, 2023 - Coravin fun - Brackets of braces (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. A little caramel, sweet spice, muted fruit, shows black and red, slight pyrazine, cream, slight savoury underpin shows leather, umami notes, cedar…the impression on the nose improves with air. Slightly sourly juicy, touch dilute, flour textured burr rasps at the front and mid palate, a little cedar, leather and herbaceous notes. Hmm. Might be time to tidy this up with something fatty

  March 9, 2023 - Quite a dense mid ruby. Restrained blackcurrant and blackcurrant leaf nose. Blackcurrant, cedar and a touch of leather on the palate, nicely resolved and a classical frame. Some length on the relatively restrained finish. Very decent now it’s melded and resolved (cf previous bottle just over a decade ago). Proper mid level claret. ***

  May 13, 2021 - Deep garnet, and fading browning edges. Aromas of tart cherry and red flowers, as well as cinnamon. Tannins softened, and medium bodied, with red cherry flavours, as well as flowers, rocket leaves, cloves, nutmeg and tar. Quite a good length and fairly complex
