  November 1, 2020 - Savory with good acidity. A little bit overwhelming when first opening. Needs a good 8 hour decant to shine.

  September 23, 2014 - Drank at wine diner at Nook with 5 other Syrahs. very nice, behaving wine, light-midweight (compared to Cali Donelan, more of summer syrah!), very silky and smooth. one of better on the table. Noe of the earthiness found in the Rhone's, and no bold jaminess that was in the Aussie Penfolds.

  December 8, 2013 - Tasting Syrah Blind in the Sunroom (It's for charity, after all): Very grapey on the nose with assertive black pepper, soft fruits and mild tannins. This shows a little heat on the finish but overall a very pleasant bottle. It isn't complicated but worth trying another.

  August 25, 2012 - As per the last bottle. Very aromatic, juicy ripe red berry fruit and a touch of spicy wood leaping from the glass. Plump and silky smooth with powerful ripe fruit and a gamey-ness on the finish. A stunning sale bargain at £32/6.
