January 14, 2019 - For the third and last time we drank this in combination with the Block 5 from the same vintage and after two resounding defeats, to our surprise and slight disappointment, this time the junior wine won. Fully mature and soft but with nice blend of red fruit and earthy flavours.

July 22, 2015 - once again tasted alongside the Block 5 wine of the same vintage and once again not in the same league but this is a very pleasurable wine in its own right. Soft, ever so slightly sweetish red berry fruit.

January 4, 2015 - Bl.. good Pinot, squire.Light ruby, fading to edge. Lovely raspberry, black cherry and overripe strawberry fruits. Touch of rhubarb. Very silky tannins. Nice acidity, maybe just a bit angular. Good length. Hedonistic without any over sweetness or jam.Was good value but maybe at current prices pushing it a bit. Highly enjoyable.

November 12, 2014 - Nice enough Pinot but still lacks a bit of interest for me and I have never really been able to get I to this particular vintage. Much better value for money pinots around for the price. Feels a little edgy and angular on the palate at the moment, missing the seamless flow and texture that would rate it higher.
