January 24, 2020 - Dark purple. My first experience with aged Kilikanoon so did not know what to expect. This has aged very well - dense, lively fruit showing no signs of decline. Some savory notes. Low acidity but well balanced. Soft and round. Not very complex but eminently enjoyable.

April 14, 2018 - Mongolian Themed Brunch (Changi): Lush dark leafy floral berries, leather, juice. Mushroom, graphite, fine black earth, ash. Elegant, layered, sweet and juicy. Great structure, effortless, and nicely developed!
