    August 9, 2023 - I was concerned that this bottle was long past it’s prime. That feeling was compounded when the start of the first pour had a hint of a brownish tinge. The full pour, however, had none of the visual or taste characteristics of oxidation. I would love to have more of this vintage.

    May 24, 2022 - Unscrewed this tonight with a Lamb Shepherds Pie. Pretty amazing considering price and age. Fruit still present; preserved black and blueberries and a touch of Logan berry. Even a faint Eucalyptus note on the backend. Freshness still present but with maturity.
    Only wish I had a few more bottles. Drinking great and those who said the drinking window was through 2012, have no idea what they've missed.

    May 11, 2021 - Chocolate, black cherry, succulent dark fruits and a hint of white pepper ... A true delight with some really sweet fruit notes - but then I turned the bottle around (what fresh hell is this???) - 16% alcohol - guess bed will come early. Yes, this is liquid chocolate black cherry and spiced-plum ... Gorgeous - and yet another tip of the hat to screwcap wines.

    January 18, 2020 - Ten years later and what a difference. Who says cheap wines aren’t worth cellaring? Much more Rhone like now than Aussie jam. Still a very big wine, but the fruit has receded to reveal a nicely balanced wine with a good finish.

    November 19, 2017 - On the gentler side of shiraz. Somewhat muted, but enjoyable. Don't see it improving much.
