 Tasted by Mads Eriksen on 2/21/2017 & rated 90 points: Er faldet lidt til ro og passede fint til braiserede lammeskank. (1840 views)
 Tasted by Mads Eriksen on 5/30/2016 & rated 90 points: The wine looks purple colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis), mushroom, toast, black pepper and meaty. The body is full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has medium acidity.
Høj alkohol der er fint integreret. Ikke min stil, men fint udtryk for australsk bulderbasse. (2261 views)
 Tasted by spicy1 on 1/4/2016 & rated 92 points: Drank this over three days. Day one was pretty much your Australian fruit bomb--just short of 15% alcohol and plenty of fruit but not much else. If I had rated it then I would have given it an 87 or so. Overnight it really opened up--exotic mix of Italian herbs, with oregano up front and what might have been black olives. Third day it held its own. Next time I will decant this one. (2371 views)
