November 16, 2018 - This wine went wonderfully well with beautifully-prepared Chinese. It had a bit on harshness on the back end that detracted from what, otherwise, was a rich, enjoyable wine.

March 18, 2017 - This bottle was in a great spot, with cassis, tar and smokey notes on the nose. The palate still had grippy tannins, though well balanced with the fruit and oak flavours. Long finish of savoury spice. Took a little while to open up though. Have one more bottle to see if it goes any further, but it's doing well now - no need to wait any longer.

April 12, 2016 - Rich dark garnet in glass, rich plums, cassis, soft powdery dark earth, mossy. Somewhat quiet with first pour, but blooms with after an hour or so, revealing violets, dark roses and hints 5-spice.
Palate, while aged, is still developed with exotic roast meat spices - cumin, galangal, tumeric, along with deep dark prunes, black plums, earthy, cigar box, cedar shavings, sweet roasted capsicum, christmas cake. Meaty leathers, licorice, and hints angelica root, and even a tinge of eucalypt menthol just for terroir. Quite likely peaked, but still drinking very well, luscious and certainly intact, now showing somewhat more transparency and aged gosssamer textures than previous bottles - like a superhero who has aged well. Special, and emotionally satisfying (survived the shock move from Syd to Sg 12 months ago). -

October 16, 2015 - Initially - very odd and tight. Odd on the nose and closed on the palate. Almost poured it down the drain, thinking it might be very mildly corked. Left it on the shelf for a couple hours with favorable results.
After a couple hours - a nice bit of menthol overlaying decent Cab fruit. Shows some benefits from cellaring - a mellowing that makes this a treat. That said, for this price this is ok, not great at this point in its life.
