August 18, 2023 - I didn’t make a detailed note on this, but gee it’s pretty darn good. Still fairly primary with deep plum fruit. Just so enjoyable to drink even if it maybe doesn’t have the nuanced development of the finest wines. Exceptional value. In a good cellar, there is no rush to drink this.

June 24, 2023 - A wine the punches far above its weight, on the QPR scale.
Clear red colour, no sign of browning at the rim (though sealed under Stelvin, so kind of expected). Shiraz nose, with red berries and subtle spices. On the palate, clean fruit, just beginning to show a little secondary change, with some mocha coffee notes appearing. Great wine, and great value. -

May 6, 2023 - Ruby colour. Plums and spice on the nose. Berries and a hint of white pepper on the palate. Overdelivers for the asking price.

August 28, 2011 - Spicy, bold and in-your-face. Very good. Paired really well with a spicy spaghetti squash casserole. Excellent QPR.
