October 16, 2022 - drank after 1 hour in decanter. Pretty sweet on the nose with vanilla oak, exotic and tropical, very fragrant in the mouth.

May 29, 2020 - The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle.
It smells like black currant (cassis) and blackberry. It tastes like black currant (cassis). The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
Big full flavoured Shiraz with still tannin but both were so big should balance out with time. 2 years1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 30, 2018 - Beautifully aged red. Lovely balance. All leathery, dark fruits still apparent, a little underlying all spice. Just a touch of background acidity. A genuine moreishness and ease of drinking. Probably just on the decline in terms of age.

September 24, 2015 - This is one of my favourite. I can even paired it with Chinese cuisine and it is still wonderful. Upon opening, only 20mins and the fragrance started to ooze out of the bottle. Simply aromatic and great finish too. Will buy more.
