June 27, 2022 - This is a good wine, characterised best by a second wave of flavour that makes it quite lengthy. So much fruit but it’s high quality. A few more years will do it good.

March 15, 2020 - Chock full of intensely concentrated red fruits. The oak here is significant, leading to a pretty rich wine. It's Wilyabrup Cabernet on steroids - and it's a good wine. This needs at least another 10 years to develop, but will be better still in 2035-40.
