  January 26, 2018 - This needed plenty of air. Once it had opened out it drank very well. A medicinal twist on savoury fruit. Power on fine-grained finish. Drink soon.

  June 16, 2017 - We had one of these at the SWTG night last week, and it wasn't showing as well as one I'd had previously. Figured I'd crack another. This one showing a lot better. nose of milk chocolate and plums with an earthy blackberry core, cloved spice. Black fruited, savoury and spicy with a long aniseed finish. Back on target.

  May 9, 2005 - Shiraz Shoot-out (Seattle, WA): This was different with a sharp nose of balsamic vinegar, barnyard, hay, BBQ sauce, slightly overripe yet wild. The palate is ripe but nicely balance by spicy white pepper. The finish is juicy and fresh, intriguing. As odd as the nose was (and it was odd), this was enjoyable.

  November 13, 2004 - Impressive wine from a label low on our radar here at Cloudwine. Deep crimson in the glass. Very deep nose, almost "warm' with an excellent fruit lift of sweet berries and a lick of licorice. More sweet berries on the palate and just a hint of McLaren Vale licorice and tar. Balanced and even restrained. Good length tops off a very complete mouthfeel. Despite the obvious ripeness the wine never gets out of hand. Good stuff.
