    November 30, 2023 - Deep ruby in color with hints of mocha and mint. Long finish on the back of the palate, think this will cellar for a few more years.

    September 4, 2023 - Very strong and pure mocha and mint nose. Great density and richness with both Cabernet and Shiraz clearly coming through (and both are very broad and good quality). Nice long minty finish which provides freshness given the lack of acidity. Excellent and highly underrated wine. Oak is a little drying though. Improves with 30mins in the glass. No hurry here - drink to 2030 easily. 94pts

    September 1, 2022 - Garnet to black in colour. No sign of browning. Mint, tobacco, black fruit, long palate. Mouth filling acid. Wonderful wine

    August 11, 2022 - What a joy to taste and drink this wine. Jammy, but not overdone, spicy, lots of red fruit, elegant and long lasting. Delicious.

    June 12, 2022 - Absolutely delicious. Like the review below, the cork was challenging but the wine in tact. Very strong notes of strawberry jam on the palate. I've also had the 2001 and 2002 over the past few weeks. The 2005 is definitely the stand out.
