December 30, 2022 - Tawny, too old (14 years). Not very aromatic, but it has good body, sweet, dark cherries, violets, touch of tobacco.
January 5, 2018 - It was past it's recommended consume date of 2010 - 2016, never the less it still was an enjoyable drop, I think it was at the final drink stage.
It tasted of berries, a fraction earthy and smooth.
November 15, 2017 - My thoughts on this run fairly orthogonal to a lot of other reviewers. Rich, sweet berries, integrated oak with some vanilla still out front, bit of eucalyptus, full body and surprisingly little heat. This has integrated really well for me over nearly a decade. (Even better on second night.)
November 2, 2017 - I agree with other reviews of this. Some oak, and a bit of alcohol. Flat with a fairly sour taste. Bright dark color still and some sediment development indicating it could hold up for a while yet. However this one peaked.
October 19, 2017 - Nose is inviting, oak, stewed fruit a bit of alcohol. Palate a little flat with a fairly sour taste of cooked plum and raspberries. Bright colour still and some sediment development indicating it could hold up for a while yet. However this is my last one of a wine I reckon peaked in 2015. Its been good fun though.
April 25, 2016 - Time has been very kind to this. Full flavoured, balanced, long finish. Great Apr
August 12, 2014 - Really tasty
February 1, 2014 - This one was good nothing special.
January 14, 2014 - Improved a bit over time. Still seems young though.
December 31, 2013 - Although quite drinkable now, it still needs more time. From past vintage I think it needs at least 8 years to mature, and should be still at its best for another 4 after that.
