Unreal nose for one of the best wines in all of NSG. Gorgeous black cherry fruit that is so clear and vivid. A hint of black plum but more black plum skins. Wild mint, desiccated tree bark, wild flowers and mega forest floor. Just stunning. 9.6 or 9.7 nose. Rich and deep with awesome purity and freshness. Really lush and succulent with terrific tiny berry fruit intensity. Superb concentration, structure and juiciness. Such a baby but not inaccessible. Really long finish and so compact. Glorious and can’t wait to see what the evening brings for this wine. This did get riper, “soupier” and plummier. Showed its “20” bones. Still fresh and deep but man 20 is all plum it seems like at some estates. — 19 days ago

Very nice flavours of cherry, plum, raspberry, and a touch of leather/earthy (in a good way!) Well balanced. Nice bottle too! — 2 years ago

Last bottle of a summer dinner- no decant. 2nd tasting of this vintage & much more expressive than the first. Throws Brett a decent amount & imagine some might prefer a substantial decant, though I like the funkiness. Fine toothed &a lovely grainy, slightly chewy texture & rather elegant; cassis, black currant, smoked beef jerky, & black cherry on palate & nose. Not complex at this stage but who needs it given the enjoyment factor. Post meal ( or probably blended into the end) of grilled BBQ chicken, French lentilsw labneh, & local tomato salad. There goes summer… — 10 months ago
