Wednesday, December 30, 2015 - Picked up a bottle while travelling to Melbourne as a cheapie ($20 undiscounted).

This wine delivers strong fruit flavour with fine tannins that don't get in the way of enjoying this wine even 3 yrs after vintage.

The acid is a little unbalanced, but this, along with the structure should see this wine develop into a milder, more mature wine with some time in the cellar. I've got a few (half dozen or so) tucked away at home. Will need to try it in 5 yrs time to see how it's travelling, but I won't feel guilty if I crack a few before time.

Good value.
