October 22, 2022 - Ruby, slight fading to edge. Lovely wine, blue and blackberries, touch of menthol, lots of dark meat, licorice and some spices. Great balance, great acidity and length. Great wine. Carries it alcohol well. Very good.

May 23, 2021 - I'm starting to think that the "factor" is so underrated compared to Runrig that it is therefore a absolute bargain at auction. tried blind it was easy to pick as Barossa and with some lovely sweet blackberry and perfumed nose. it was a deep crimson purple still and rich and decadent and clearly with at least another 15 years to go. i picked it as 2015. it was a baby. well worth seeking out. not in the class of Standish but still a lovely wine. and if you can find it, try the 2002, its amazing
