March 3, 2024 - Wow, what a lovely wine. Smooth and silky with velvety (I can’t say silky again) tannins some fruit still present with loads of tertiary complexity. Almost a long finish. A

July 6, 2019 - Over the hill. Drinkable, but past it’s prime.
Couldn’t get the cork out, but when I pushed it in it appeared in great condition.
Wine had a lot of bricking, hence the red color with orange elements. The most oak I have ever experienced on a nose. A turnoff but might have been worse without it. Wine had some fruit and texture, but wasn’t like a typical Aussie Shiraz.
Oh well, wasn’t expensive at all. -

October 5, 2018 - Colour: still had that dark plum Shiraz. Very nice
Nose: plum with sweet cherry
Taste: surprisingly better than last bottle.
This time, opened bottle for over an hour before pouring. Rich sweet plum smooth and delicious.
Sediment was present, definitely should be decanted. -

November 28, 2017 - Nice fruit and long finish. Holding up very nicely. IMO has at least another five years of very fine drinking.

August 4, 2017 - At first, very nice sweet plum on the nose. First few sip, a slight sweet at the front and then the bitterness was apparent. After 2-3 hours it opens up very nice and tasty surprise! Not very big flavour, I would say medium but still plenty of fruit flavour.
The colour is still very nice - plum dark red.
It still have some life. I think it can still be nicely drunk a year or two later with proper storage.1 person found this helpful Comment
