Mataro 2015
Mid Ruby red in colour with a tawny edge. Sour cherry with touches of pepper and cloves. Not as raspberry as I was expecting from old vine Mataro. With a couple of hours of aeration the raspberry notes started coming through finishing with Sandy tannins. This wine is made by the multi talented Andrew Caillard who is the supremo of Fine Wine retailer and auctioneer Langtons who allowed Andrew to make his superb range of wines under his own label using old vine Mataro and Shiraz; painted the exquisite labels himself and who achieved a Master of Wine in his spare time. I am lucky to have 5 of these beauties left. 96 points from James Halliday. — 3 years ago

Diamond Mountain District Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
Thought this was going to have more punch to it. Might have kept it too long but it wasn’t browning or any lightness in color. Just a bit flat. — 8 months ago
Sipping Fine Wine
A Blend of mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, a portion aged in new French oak. Grapes sourced from several vineyards. Deep Ruby, black fruit aromas with cedar and earthy herb notes. On the palate flavors of black plum and blackberry with cacao, vanilla and cedar on fine tannins. Medium+ finish ending with tobacco and smoky spice notes. — 2 months ago
