Mid Ruby in Color. Notes of plum and violet. Luscious and savoury at the same time. A generosity of flavour like Otago NZ in some respects. Still a little latent even at 7 years of age. Freycinet Pinots are made to last 10+ years and this will do that easily. Soft and supple - an excellent Pinot Noir - one of Australia's best. — 9 years ago

At the nose, blackberry, some leather, earthiness very latent. Maybe a bit still closed. Linear and redrinkable. — 10 years ago

Slightly tart cherry with latent bubblegum. Like a grown-up rock star version of pigtails, bobby socks, and pink bows. Delish for a Napa Cab. I am either in a real good mood lately, or we have been hitting it out of the ballpark with our wine choices. Vino di Vino. — 10 years ago

Restrained nose of Plum and Prune. Also notes of wet hot bitumen road. Latent brooding power. Experts say drinking window to 2015 but will go on well beyond that IMO. Amazing fruit strength for a cool climate area like Washington State. Full bodied with decadently rich flavours. One of the best new world Cabernets I have had. Up there with Woodlands Moss Wood Dominus Sassacaia amongst others having not tried many of the Californian Cult classics. A birthday treat. — 10 years ago

Subtle pixy candy and red candied fruit on the nose, clean and quaffable mid-palate that shows weight with high water fruit notes, glycerin-edged rich finish with latent and lasting acidity that gives Provençal rosés a run for their money! Low alcohol and lovely. Nielluccio grape is a star in my eyes! — 9 years ago

Structure aplenty and latent power, see ya in five — 10 years ago

2nd wine in the Coonawarra Taste off. Rich and vibrant from a good vintage. Latent power but could be drunk young. Fruit driven. — 10 years ago

Incredible wine; though potential is evident, it also happens to be latent. Wine is temporarily shutdown; I'd leave it be for 3 years — 11 years ago
