December 9, 2023 - Very impressive aged Cabernet. Youthful colour for age. Classic black blue fruit. Boldly fruited and big in style but still neatly structured.

March 5, 2009 - Deep colour, beautiful berry aroma's, with a hint of chocolate/ cigar box. Unfortunately somewhat atringent with a hot finish. However once the hotness has dissapated it has a wonderfully long finish. Not bad for an AUD$12 bottle of wine.

April 7, 2003 - NobleRottersSydney - Revisiting the '98 cellar (Lucio's, Paddington): Mid red. Simple & confected compared to the shirazes preceding it. Objectively, it’s not too bad a wine, some indeterminate red fruit, some mint, and lick of oak, but it’s a bit coarse & unrefined to be any more than a quaffer.

May 6, 2002 - NobleRottersSydney - Launching the '98 cellar (1) (Darling Mills, Glebe): This presents an incredibly sweet nose of jammy stewed fruits with a dash of spearmint. Unpretentious wine in a fairly simple style. Acceptable for the price – fresh, clean, if a bit short on the finish. Out of it’s depth in this company.

September 26, 2001 - Deep, bright crimson red. Rich blackberry nose with soft oak notes. Mainstream & commercial. Soft, with minimal tannin. Something of a doughnut wine; sweet fruit on the front palate, short finish. Not unripe, just high-yield fruit.
