Medium gold colour . Quite a lot of roasted nuts , lemon peel . On the palate still lovely freshness , with a touch of vanilla , baked brown bread , brioche, meaty almost porcini richness . Good length, quite rounded on the palate but very good balance . Drink now and over the next 5-8 years , this is at a lovely stage — 3 months ago

This CdP tribute (55% Mataro, 40% Shiraz, 5% Grenache) to Pope Clement V is simply lovely, rich, youthful darkfruits and a solid structure that suggests 5-7 years of cellaring is in order, medium-long, lingering finish, very fine GSM blend!!
As an aside, we were lucky enough to make it to singlefile Wines this afternoon and taste the full range being poured, the 2022 Family Reserve Chardonnay (the wine they’re known for) was outstanding, as was their 2022 Frankland River Cabernet Sauvignon, and pricing was VERY reasonable — only problem is that don’t export to the U.S. — Oh well. . . . — 5 months ago

2018 vintage. Fresh with excellent body and a wild, herbaceous woodsiness. Decidedly different, yet appreciated as such. The 2015 is Rembrandt. This 2018 is Picasso. 4.20.24. — 4 days ago
