This bottle specifically needed a lot of air time. Decanted briefly before pouring, I left it in the glass and swirled often for about 10 minutes before the wine opened up. Unfiltered, there was quite a bit of sediment in the bottle, decanter, and the glass. Paired very well with the short ribs and braised pork on the table. — 8 years ago

Цвет золотой. В аромате сладкий ананас, курага, прополис, пластик, дым. Полное тело, средний уровень кислотности. Во вкусе джем с ананасовыми дольками, мёд в сотах, шалфей, пыль. Напористо, глубоко, немного тяжеловесно, но очень интересно. Долгое тёпло-пряное послевкусие. На пике. 17/20 — 9 years ago
Easy summer drinker. Sort of sweet with the lemonade thing going on in there. — 9 years ago
Delicious! The cherry is definitely there but not overpowering. Much better than the other cherry beers I've had. — 10 years ago

Pale to mid crimson. Palate showing sweet cherry and plum fruit with spicy oak. Delicious now with short term cellaring potential. Proving once again how suitable Adelaide Hills is for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. (Also does great cool climate Syrah. ) — 8 years ago
Quite nice and balanced though remains a big, heavy wine! Happy to have some of lying down in my cellar as well. @Tim Bouchard — 9 years ago
Very light and barely darker than many rosés. Raspberry and purity. A whisper. I like it very much. — 9 years ago
Wonderful blend of dried fruits, new shoes, Xmas spice, cinnamon and sugar. Very well balanced and really coats the mouth. Lingers too. — 10 years ago
Silky...lots of red fruits...slight salty finish — 8 years ago
One the nose, lean, ripe, ruby, fruits of blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries and plum. Loamy soils, vanilla and fragrant perfumed florals. The body is medium with dry, silty, soft tannins. The fruits are lean & ripe, and creamy; blackberries, dark cherries, raspberries and plums. Dark, dry, loamy soils, dry stems, soft leather, wood shavings, touch of vanilla, raspberry cola, steeped fruit tea, dark chocolate bar, violets, red florals, good acidity and a lean dry finish. It's a decent wine that will improve but I'm not at all seeing the $200 plus a bottle price point.

Great wine with Tim and Lindy — 9 years ago
Full malt character- much more body than you might expect from an IPA. Lactic palate, not too resinous — 9 years ago
