November 3, 2023 - See previous notes. Medium intensity on the nose. Blackberry, cassis, lead and pencil shavings. A little too ripe and over extracted for my taste. The heat was also evident. Hold.

September 23, 2023 - PnPd; clean cork. Dark garnet with crimson rim. A ripe, macerated berry attack on the nose. Seems primary still. A touch less rustic and more elegant on the palate. Decent balance - a tad hot. There's quality here but an unexpected short finish.

September 8, 2023 - Had side by side with a 2013 Penfolds Bin 389 and 2013 Penfolds. St Henri Shiraz
TN: Dark fruit, purple and opaque. Well-made and tannins still present but a less grippy then before
Comparison with others: Clearly the Cab in the blend, provides the structure which I thought that the St Henri, while still beautiful, had less of. The 2013 Bin 389 was more open with smoother tannins, but after two hours of airing the 2018 opened up nicely.4 people found this helpful Comment -
