  November 4, 2023 - Hint of capsicum early, but given a decant and consumed across 4.5h. Green strawberries that tended towards blackberries as it opened. Peppery and savoury. Hint of charcuterie. Very light (11.6%), atypical and wonderful.

  June 5, 2022 - Post MW Bordeaux Tasting: Meaty, herbal and floral on the nose. Light red fruits and herbs on the palate, I don't mind it to drink but it definitely verges on under-ripe depending on your taste.

  September 9, 2021 - Such a beautiful wine. Caveat, you have to like green florals and capsicum, but if you do this is a beautiful wine.
  
  It’s a few points above the Ebernezer for me at this junction.
  
  Thank you duck for sharing and throwing me way off course.
  
  I knew it was Barossa because that was the theme of our blind tasting and the duck is a good man. But I’d never have guessed straight shiraz. Grenache, maybe.
  
  Great to see that the Barossa still has a few tricks up its sleeves. I’d drop this wine in to a Pinot or Hunter Shiraz tasting for closer comparison.
  
  This is outstanding 95, the Ebernezer a month or two ago is very good to excellent 92-93. Drink the Flaxman now to 5 years. Wait on the Ebernezer 2-3 years.
