July 30, 2021 - This was a really good bottle of mature shiraz. Soft and full of ripe blackberries and sweet cassis. Quite long and still freshness along more mature mushroomy notes. Excellent!

January 5, 2017 - Very nice, soft and evolved shiraz which got better with 2-3 hours in the glass. Sweet blackberries and some eucalyptus. Not super long but a very nice drink, good example aussie shiraz with some age - soft,integrated and full of flavours.

October 30, 2015 - Bit of reduction that blows off after 30 minutes. Opens into blackberry and coconut oak. Nicely developed nose. The palate has strong depth of flavour, maybe a touch too much oak, but continues the blackberry, black currant and damson flavours, with black pepper opening up in time. Drying finish.

February 17, 2010 - Nice soft nose of black rapsberries, blackberries, shortbread and oak. Simple smelling but tasty. Nice body here, not overly big and has nice acidity and building tannin. Rich black berries on the palate, tasty fruit but nothing that interesting to note. Nicely built, a tasty wine overall but kind of basic.
