May 8, 2020 - Still clear ruby red with no bricking - thanks screwcap. Gorgeous spicy, red fruited nose with some earth. Lovely slippery complex plum and dark fruits but in a lovely medium weight , finishing with the longest balanced palate I have had from any Shiraz from Canberra. While this will go 10 more years at least, I’m not sure it will get much better than it is now. I’ve got. 2 more so will see.

October 14, 2015 - Top Aussie Shiraz. Good depth of fruit. No real tannins noticed. Smooth with long aftertaste. Full BlackBerry flavour. Drink now but has at least 5 years to go. Impressive.

December 24, 2013 - very nice but slightly lost its depth of flavour and length of finish relative to the potential that it had promised
