October 9, 2021 - Deep colour. Nose is a bit funky - preferably decant for an hour. Good balance (fruit, acid, tannin) and complexity. Red fruits. Drink now if you like the fresher style but will continue to develop for at least another 5 years.

April 17, 2020 - Lifted, perfumed nose- on the crunchier side, red fruits, high toned with some pleasant stalky notes - elegant “green” notes overlaying savoury, delicately earthy spice notes. Colour moving towards a very slightly bricky red. Still with a bite - acid, elegance and freshness but with great concentration of flavour.

June 5, 2019 - Feels oakier and heavier than the other Pinot Noirs tasted today. Nose of red cherry and strawberry, plus hints of saffron, Bourbon, and vanilla. Palate is clean and acid-dominant, with moderate tannins. Flavours of strawberry, blackberry, rose, and vanilla, with a hint of truffle.

September 26, 2018 - SLDS September 2018: Cherry, stems and oak. Nice medium weight fruit profile, good length and nicely restrained. I like the style and balance.

July 29, 2018 - Adelaide trip; 7/26/2018-7/29/2018 (Adelaide and the surrounding environs): From Magnum. Polished, cedar, cherry, perfumed floral notes. Stalks again but, for me, integrated. Juicy and fleshy, cherry, plenty of tannic grip. All travels exceedingly long.
