September 24, 2023 - Sunday lunch with the Wine-Ark boys (Porcine, Oxford Street): Black hued fruits, plums, blackcurrant, sweet spice, a little red currant, plenty of polished oak shows vanilla, chocolate and clove, sweet spice. Lashings of textured grip greets the palate, touches of alcohol warmth, plenty of sweet spice, cedar, black hued fruits are present and play nicely on the long finish. Nom nom.

September 1, 2023 - 96p. Deep red intense colour. Aromas of cedar and coffee Almost like a wine from Medoc. High concentration and long smooth aftertaste. Perfect balanced tannins. Have many years left in the cellar to reach its peak.

December 31, 2022 - Coravin fun - Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Medium plus intensity aromas show plummy, fruity backed by vanilla, a little caramel, sweet spice, a little red currant underpin, slight chocolate completes the nose. In the mouth it's plummy, rich, with plenty of polished oak, a little herbaceous underpin, slightly woody tannins, tangy, fleshy, beautifully balanced, long, lovely, in a great spot.
