April 5, 2024 - Continuing to improve. This has plenty of life ahead of it but is lovely right now. Medium bodied and fruit-driven without being fruit forward (if that makes sense). No rush at all.

September 2, 2023 - Translucent crimson in the glass. Expressive nose with a core of perfectly ripe, well defined blackberry and blueberry. Whiffs of smoke and cloves, a touch of leather and a notable graphite character. Medium to full bodied on the palate with good freshness and fine tannins. Long, savoury touched blackberry finish. Delicious now on initial pour and opened well with an hour in the decanter. Will be interesting to see how it evolves.
WSET Notes:
Medium ruby.
Pronounced on the nose with blackberry, blueberry, black plum, smoke, cedar, earth, clove, leather and graphite. Developing.
Pronounced and dry on the palate. Medium plus body, medium alcohol, medium acidity, medium plus tannins, long finish.
Can drink now but has potential for ageing.1 person found this helpful Comment -

January 20, 2023 - Blackberry and char. Pretty good now but feel this may be pretty special in 5-10 years.

June 13, 2020 - From an historic Hunter vineyard, the oldest bits go into the Old Patch. These vines are about 70 years old. Drunk over two nights. This was quite tart at first but opened up more beautifully with every glass. Lovely fruit, spice and earthiness and a tremendous length. Has a great future ahead of it.
