December 23, 2023 - Pleasantly surprised at how delicious this was for its age! A little licorice dominant at opening but, after about 30 minutes decanting, it was balanced, juicy, and flavorful.
January 15, 2020 - Very balanced, integrated tannins, fruit and acids. As time went on acids began to dominate. Very pleasantly surprised for a wine "found" in the cellar.
November 23, 2018 - was glad we opened the bottle. Very nice fruit, tannins and acids. As expected air was not kind and acids dominated at the end
November 25, 2017 - Getting toward end of drinkable life.
September 24, 2015 - We weren't sure if this was slightly flawed, in a dumb period or at the end of life. Very muted finish.
July 21, 2015 - Cork was destroyed, but wine survived. Very smooth and elegant. Good fruit, but acid driven. A touch of high notes give ethereal taste. Definitely a strong sweetness. Viscous. Attack comes on strong but veers into a long smooth finish at the last second. Glycerol.

May 8, 2015 - Big round and fruit forward. Good wa Syrah...
March 25, 2015 - This was dark and big with blueberry, blackberry and some savory character. Approaches Barossa ripeness and does the style well if you favor it. Still plenty youthful.
November 27, 2014 - Very attractive new world syrah fruit, dense without being ponderous. Acidity adequate and alcohol in check. Good wine.
October 6, 2014 - Opened and poured. Drank over 2 hours. Outstanding now.Blackberry favours. Light spices. Floral notes. Smooth tannins
and a full and long finish.
