November 28, 2022 - colour deep red clear on the rim 15/15
nose intense aromas of primary fruit and some secondaries plums blackberries raspberry florals of violet and rose , spice cassis chocolate liquorice smoky , great for 17yo 28/30
Palate full bodied primary fruit flavours and aged secondaries , still a fair amount of oak/tannins dominate the palate 41/44
overall , still developing and responding to aeration , suggest a good 6+ hours decant 9/11 -

August 8, 2019 - Deep garnet in color. Nose of dark berries, dark chocolate, and hint of tar. Tastes of dark cherries, mocha, and hints of leather. Lovely fruit that turned elegant with aeration. In a nice drinking window now but should age nicely for another 7-10 years.

August 3, 2017 - Still a massive wine. Big nose on this one with ripe jammy fruits coming through. Decanted for a good 3 three hours and perhaps should have been longer as it really opened up after time in the glass.
