Concentrated Blackcurrant aroma, hint of herbs. Noticeable 'hear' in grapes reminding me of hot terracotta tiles. Softer structure, perhaps run & raison. A bit of white pepper. Medium tannin, body, length. — 12 years ago
Very nice fruit present whilst delivering loads of pepper and capsicum. Could have given it a minimum of 2 years lore age. Hints of game and leather. — 10 years ago
It has been a while since I last had this one and the only regret is that I did not buy a case ;-) Ruby terracotta, lovely nose with a touch of Bret, mushroom, leather, cherries, current, medium to full body, smooth tannins and a lovely acidity, more than a blend of villages ;-) a lovely wine and a great value at about 25 Euro.

Fantastic precision of bright red berry fruit, some sweet smokey cherry and graphite a warm terracotta roof tiles (!?) and freshly planted roses. Abundant red fruit on the palate, irresistible! — 12 years ago

Wow! A 2003 that some friends brought back from Hunter Valley. Dark yellow, smells like petrol, cheese rind, mushrooms, curdled cream, and honeycomb. Tastes like burnt sugar, sautéed mushrooms, cheese rind, toasted marshmallow, petrol. Jasmine flower. So interesting. — 11 years ago

Amazing. Unique. Floral, funky, minerally nose. Sour red fruit, bitter herbs, banyard, red meat. Earth and minerality from being aged in terracotta amphorae. Very high acidity makes this an excellent food wine. Be sure to give this some air to bring out the wine's finer qualities. — 9 years ago
