  May 7, 2022 - Light and elegant, the 1990 St George is an understated wine with violet and cedar wood on the nose, and a soft blend of prunes, chocolate and blackcurrant on the palate. Delicious after an hour in a decanter, the wine still has at least 10 years of life.

  April 27, 2017 - Color suggests 'only' 10-15yrs old not 27! Huge nose. Spice and cigar box after 5 mins in the glass...... but after 30mins It's loses some fruit and gets a bit harsh on the finish. Day 2 it hasn't improved.

  January 9, 2016 - Les's bottle. Presents sweeter than European wines we've just had, so someone guesses Australia pretty quick. I note the similarity to Napa and suggest Coonawarra and Wynn's John Riddoch, at which point we were stuck, as higher-end Lindemans aren't known here. Pleasing red fruit and mint, drinking well.

  October 25, 2014 - Blind Tasting - Battle of the States: Redcurrant, leather and mint. Medium bodied, good tannin resolution with some sweet red fruits still present. Very good!

  December 14, 2012 - Very old nose, with notes of beef stock, cumin, cinnamon and peppermint. On the palate, intense blackberry flavour and grainy tannins. Lovely, but just hanging on; drink now.
