  August 21, 2014 - Bright deep ruby. Lots of blackberry fruits, some purple plum. Touch of perfumed pot pourri. Decent acidity. Elegant. Definitely a touch of St Joseph or Crozes about this. But maybe not such great value at UK prices, suspect pretty good at USA ones.

  August 10, 2013 - Blind Comparison Tasting (Folin Cellars Carlton Tasting Room): Brett, barnyard predominate the red and blue fruit notes. Bitter leather, over extracted fruit and sharp anchored finish, this was overdone and one-dimensional.

  November 22, 2012 - Good, not great CA Syrah. Admittedly, the wasn't blind and I have a slight bias against Randall, but the wine showed a touch of earthy, game, round dark fruit, a touch of bacon-like cooked meat and mild tannins. A fine wine for Tuesday.

  March 29, 2012 - Violets and floral notes along with berries on the nose. Medium bodied palate is more meaty and savoury.

  March 10, 2012 - Stars of the Melbourne Wine and Food Festival (Prince Wine Store - Bank Street): A very herbaceous and intense nose, with leather and currants. The palette is chock full of dry tannin and backed with very ripe berries. Even though it has a few years on it now, is still really racy and the mouth feel is quite grippy, so some food would be a good idea. Ideally cured meats and some pickled vegetables.
