December 17, 2023 - Screwcap, opened and left for about 4 hours to air. This wine grew in it's charm over a couple of drinking hours and showed very well against some other very good wines. Very clean and moreish, certainly not as fine boned or regional as other hunter producers tend to be but it made up for it in terms if pure enjoyment. Some very subtle and surprising complexity emerged in this. Shame I have no more. Perfect age now.

October 3, 2020 - Still too oaky and extracted after 10 years. Compared to a similar aged Stevens vineyard wine from De Iuliis in the Hunter this was blocky and simple and too big. Lacked any type of hunter elegance.

January 23, 2016 - From Terra Rossa clays and sandy clay soils comes this Hunter Valley Shiraz. Aromas of blackberry, plums, spices, olives, road tar and fresh herbs. Arrives with cool elegance and smoothness on the palate. Finishes medium-long. Well made, but lacking fascination, yet delicious and very drinkable.
