In my opinion, the 2006 vintage was much better. The 2007 vintage tastes like a young wine with a little bit of green tannin in the background and may benefit for another 2-3 years in the cellar. Would recommend decanting for at least an hour before drinking. Tasted June 2012

Typical Aussie Shiraz, even better with four years in the bottle, but don't expect too much. Tasted June 2013.

Excellent Cab-Sauvignon, very smooth and nice finish. Make sure not to let get too warm on a hot summer day. I even chilled mine a bit and took it out an hour before drinking. Tasted great ! Tasted June 2012.
