February 23, 2019 - Very soft and smooth, but lacking fragrance. Cork seemed okay, but just a little less exciting than I thought it would be.

February 12, 2016 - Still drinking very nicely but probably close to the end of the road.
Lovely Cabernet blend with soft mouthfeel and still plenty of fruit. Not a lot of acdity and just enough gentle tannin to hold it together.
Last of the breed for us, look forward to trying its younge siblings. -

October 19, 2015 - I have had 4 of these over the past 8 months. 1 was past its prime, and the other 3 were delicious, though possibly had reached potential. The good 3 were fruit forward (black fruit) with secondary characteristics on back palate. Leather, oak and plum. Quite complex. Minimal tannin left, medium bodied and length varies though possibly has shortened a little with time. Very nice, though wouldn't leave it any longer.

August 13, 2015 - This was a fantastic wine. I thought it may be starting to fade but not the case excellent fruit. I will drink my last few bottles over the next 12 months at special times.
