June 4, 2022 - So young, elegant but rich fruit, medium to full bodied. Minty, smoke, pepper, menthol. Pure BlackBerry, fruits of the forest. Long complex. Drink now and over the next 10 to 20 years.

February 12, 2022 - Wonderful depth of intense brooding dark fruits - damson, black plum and blackberry, quite delicious. Spicy, warm and ripe tannins. Although there are some tertiary hints of leather and farmyard this is still a fruit driven wine. Good acidity provides lift and life. Medium plus finish, complex. Drink now but will continue to evolve in interesting ways for many more years.

March 22, 2015 - This is a magical bottle. This is drinking like it was 10 years of age not almost 30. Wonderful ripe nose with primary fruit still showing. Strawberries, leather, blueberries and earth all shining through. Great texture depth and mouth feel. Really a special Aussie wine. Best I've had.
