  August 6, 2015 - SPN last minute offline: Bright golden colour. Honey, wax, smoke, orange - all fairly basic aromas but they work well together. Acid cuts through nicely still on the palate, despite the powerful aged fruit. In great condition for its age, if it had a bit more complexity it would be brilliant but it is still wonderful.

  February 3, 2003 - NobleRottersSydney - Langtons Classification 'Outstanding' (Lucio's, Paddington): A glowing yellow colour – significantly darker than its Vat 1 stablemate. Very developed, with some yeast/bread, butter, roasted nuts and light toasty oak hints. Still with some lean freshness on the palate – the acid is respectably persistent. More obviously old than the Vat 1. Certainly has lost fruit freshness, but pleasant enough. Again, finish is a bit short. Maybe Vat 47 hits its peak around 8-10 years – certainly I’ve had some 92s that were stunning, whereas any complexity has faded past 15 years of age. The wine is not falling apart by any means, but I think its absolute peak has passed.
