Victoria, Australia$24.95
2015 + 2016/17
May 2020....all gone now (must have bought minimum 3, maybe more), think I finished off the last bottle maybe fall of 2019. This was a really spectacular shiraz, throughout its entire evolution, but I think I found it most spectacular in its youth.....full of flavour and vibrant. (91+)

February 2022....birthday gift to George (memories of our trip to SA)
April 2022...loved this one! Was concerned I bought too many, in fact I may have bought too few. A wine I think anyone would enjoy. Flavourful, smooth, food friendly & delicious. Med-Full body. Has a Mediterranean feel. Look forward to next one.

MAY 2023....at Dianne and Nick's place. Best Rose I've ever tasted, absolutely delicious, could drink this all day long, in fact I easily polished off 2/3rds of the bottle. Dry, elegant, flavourful, smooth (no rough edges whatsoever), very satisfying. Worked great with pot luck hors d'ovaries.
Recognizing this was a stellar year, would absolutely consider buying again. (91)
