See previous notes. Meaty aromas together with blueberry, red currant and raspberry - a hint of bay leaf. A wonderful wine from old vine Mataro (Mourvèdre). Medium to full bodied with stacks of savoury flavour. Sadly my last one. I should seek out more recent vintages. — 2 years ago

In the meaty, earthy Grenache corner. More sour cherry than juby raspberry. Fine cloudy tannin. — 4 years ago

Always a winner. BlackBerry, dark cherry, dark cherry juice, pickled black fruits, olive and pepper. A touch over medium bodied. Tannins are ripe and shapely, acidity supporting beautifully. Modern Barossa. — 4 years ago

Very special rose from Barossa. Savory and ripe red berry flavors and intense flavor and long lasting. Will chill it and drink more later — 3 years ago

9.0

Very dark crimson - particularly for a 10 year old wine. Plum Chocolate and a tarry Creosote like note. A medium to full bodied palate of M plus intensity. I have the greatest of respect for Huon Hooke as a wine judge but I think his drinking window of 2011 to 2019 is too conservative. This has the power to go on for at least another 5 years and should show more complexity then. Estimating drinking windows is an inexact science. — 4 years ago
