Full, parody aussie up-front nose. Massive attack dark fruit. Oak and vanilla. Impenetrable with menthol and cocoa.
Impossibly full body. Massive. Impenetrable. Loads of fruit and loads of tannin. Needs 10 years more, at least. Now ultra-concentration with layer upon layer of dark fruit and oak.
Hard to know what to make of a wine like this... Such a beast. I suppose it will add elegance at 30 years of age, but at 11 there was no such thing.
