Columbus, OH offline 1/19/13 (Nick C's house): This was surprisingly better & more balanced than most Aussie wines I've had recently, which is a pleasant surprise. The nose has a nice red cherry note with red licorice and a hint of salinity. The flavors are bight, also highlighting red fruit, a bit jammy but far less than many Aussie wines. Well balanced overall, with noticeable acidity, medium tannins, and a pleasantly long finish that is still fresh/bright even with almost 10 years of age. Drink now or over the next 2-3 years.

Very solid food wine. Beautiful nose. A light and complex taste: roses, tingling acid, some wood, very dry but tannins in check and a rolling mouthfeel.

Really pretty nose of red berries and licorice. Nice wine, dry red fruit, not ripe at all, med wt.

Pretty and light. Think pink red color. Not much nose. Nice pairing with chicken and fish.

Wine was big and mouth-filling. Plenty of fruit, but also nicely balanced. Should mature nicely.

Good effort. Didn't drink well the second day, however. iI was a jammy, somewhat complex Barossa blend.
