My first experience with this label, bought a random 6 pack to start. Slow ox’d for 6 hours. Medium body with light velvet mouth feel. First on nose was faintly like smelling a newly opened box of chocolates. Lighter berry notes which developed into dark Cherry notes as I progressed. Not overly impressed but the price I paid I find this to be a nice everyday drinker. I do recommend. Cheers

Was hoping for more, may have missed window. Then again maybe not. Day one after 8 our slow ox, nose of artichoke…more barrel notes than fruit notes on nose. Spiced leather throughout and more on the medium body side. Bit to thin for a Syrah and my liking. Day 2 showing signs of raspberry on the nose but same dullness. Happy I only had one bottle. Cheers

Wasn’t expecting much and turned into a nice find. Great structure with solid fruit. Velvet like mouth feel. Was in a nice window now but has legs so hold if you like. Definitely will buy more. Cheers
