  In superb condition. Bright and youthful. Slightly big and fruity but good balance and acidity to maintain a freshness. Red and black plums with lovely sweet and dry spices and sandalwood/vanilla. Very enjoyable. 94.5

  Part of an 8 bottle line up of various wines and varietals served blind. This showed exceptionally well and was ranked No 2 overall by the group. Excellent value against a line up mostly many times it’s price.

  Wow! Gorgeous. Quite big and rich but not heavy. Tingly tannins and acidity - great structure to balance the abundant fruit. Blind I would have guessed this is Penfolds' RWT, very similar structure and generosity of fruit. Flavours of red cherry, plum and raspberry, accompanied by earthy notes, along with cinnamon, sandal wood and a touch of vanilla. Long and complex. Drinking beautifully now and will go for at least the next 10 years.

  Sealed under screwcap this has developed beautifully. The nose has a touch of coal smoke, some wild sage, spiced plum and bitter chocolate. The palate is full and fleshy with a really silky feel. It has a lovely interplay between elements of fruit and savoury nuance and there's still a gentle flex of tannic muscle to the finish.

  Very dark garnet. Mix of primary and tertiary flavours, blackberry, five spice, pudding. leather,. Nice balance and structure. I admired the wine more than enjoyed it. Although this could be enjoyed for another decade, to my palate better enjoyed now.
