November 7, 2019 - Second half-bottle was better, alcohol seemed more subdued and there was more fruit, spice and herbs to balance things out. Quite tasty overall.

September 22, 2019 - From a half bottle. OK Cabernet Shiraz blend. Works best with food, is lopsided and dull on its own. Alcohol is a little higher than the flavour density can handle, and it's a bit too sharp. I may have been spoiled by delicious Cabernet Shiraz blends with ten more years of age, but this just isn't very good, and doesn't warrant a 90+ score by comparison.

July 20, 2019 - There is no sediment in the bottle. It is garnet in colour and smells of prune, plum, mushroom, oak, stone, and honey. Flavours include blackberry, cherry, forest floor, oak, and molasses. The body is medium-full with a smooth texture and long finish. The wine has medium acidity and tannins. The wine seems ready to drink and could have only been improved with a perfectly barbecued steak. This is definitely one I'll buy again.
