  Sweet red fruit, blueberry and some floral notes with a hint of a bloody savory note on the mid palate. Very soft/easy and could use more of an energetic lift. Drink now - 90.

  Big, fruity, intense. Black as night in profile and flavors. Definitely in the vein of the big Barossa bombs from 15 years ago that were all the rage, albeit with a bit more freshness. A people pleasing cocktail wine or something to serve fans of Prisoner or Caymus as, unlike those 'wines', this fruit bomb actually has a bit of substance.

  Medium+body, brambly red fruits, floral inner mouth perfume, sneaky tannins - tasty now with great tension and energy but not one I would say is youthfully drinking well. Does not give a ton of pleasure, but is more an intellectual exercise in future potential. The fruit darkened a bit with hints of dried tobacco as it sat in the decanter, as well as a bit of vanilla from the oak. This is a BABY. Fun to get a glimpse, but will be sitting on my remaining bottles indefinitely. Followed over 6 hours. 93 for now with easy 95+ potential.
