August 29, 2023 - Supper with Frank (Loulou's bistro, Milsons Point): Wild blackcurrant, violet, cedar, cigar box, a little tertiary leather, lovely nose. Juicy, slightly sour wild blackcurrant, leather, medium minus intensity chalky textured tannins, long. Absolutely lovely.

December 1, 2021 - opened 3 hours, perfect cork and level - dark ruby, hint of brown on rim; plum and cassis fruit, some spice and hint of earth, not particularly complex; med, ok length and concentration, grainy slightly dry tannins to fore at expense of fruit, maturity plateau, no rush. VGI (17).

November 17, 2021 - Drinking wonderfully. Layers of rich black fruits, tobacco, with an earthy and long finish. Like where this one is at!
