February 3, 2024 - Absolutely spectacular. Bright red fruit. Subtle earthy nose. Could almost be mistaken for a Right Bank bordeaux! One of my favorite things about Diamond Creek is how pronounced unique flavors can be.

August 7, 2022 - From 375ml; this was delicious; the nose showed ripe cassis, blueberry, some tobacco, a hint of herbs, violet, and just a hint of damp earth. The palate was full of fruit, but still showed really lovely balance with very good depth and a long finish with a hint of chocolate. Pretty close to fully mature in the smaller size, I suspect a full bottle will have plenty of life left.

Very fine sediment on the last glass, stood up for just a couple days before opening- would suggest longer.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 6, 2019 - Dark and thick with currants, cherries and berries over an oily finish. Great wine.
