  July 5, 2023 - Develop into a well integrated wine with a lovely touch of primary berry flavours and a softened oak tannin base. drinking well in 2023.
  Needs decanting and settling. Quite heavy bottle sediment.

  March 9, 2022 - Excellent. As much Penfolds as GSM.
  Colour: dark dusty red berries
  Bouquet: sweet Grenache fruit up front, followed by spice, black pepper and coffee
  Palate: similar to bouquet, full fruits and bodiy but balanced with alcohol and big softt tannins. Sweet fruit balanced by earthiness, oak and ageing, so that finish is dry, and long.

  April 17, 2020 - Need to be decanted. screw cap. some sediment forms around the cap.
  Colour: Nice deep dark with some browning tinge at the edge
  Nose: Nice fragrant sweet earthy
  Palate: initial feel - round mouthful, earthy not jammy. soil earth ok. As it opened up, much better. May or may not have past its peak. But probably better earlier.

  October 30, 2011 - A fantastic wine. Huge body, fruit, full in the mouth and long finish. Drank with a cassoulet

  January 9, 2011 - Decanted 1hr, plum, blackberry and pepper on the nose. The palate opens with juicy grenache red plum and black cherry, shiraz takes over on the finish with blackberry and a peppery note. The tannins are grity and firm still. Not as concentrated as most aussi reds, but solid never the less.
