April 27, 2023 - Still too young, very powerful wine with plum, blueberry. Very concentrated wine.

August 4, 2022 - Most approachable. Chrushed quickly and completely as part of my return to binge drinking following Paris. Worth sipping more slowly, but not worth $115. It had its finer points, I personally think it had some of the more smoked meat notes as described by the previous years vintage.

June 4, 2021 - bold shiraz style - full body, blackberry, chocolate, vanilla, high alcohol, high concentration. With ageing potential. @finewine.explorer
