Lovely crafted wine decanted for 2-3 hrs. Opened up nicely with good red fruit on display, mouth filling and commendable length.
Hard to rate it higher this time because this was the second red of the night where the first red was a brilliant Shiraz that was consumed immediately before this.
Weirdly this seemed to make this wine come off as having a slightly funky flavour that I do not ever remember experiencing with this wine before.
I am torn on whether to open another bottle or to wait in case the wine is in a funky stage.
Although this may have another 2-3-5 yrs of cellaring potential, I don’t believe it will reward further patience.

Lovely and drinking perfectly.
Lots of character and tertiary development/ characteristics.
Not likely to improve. Last bottle. Must buy again (and again and again!).

Fine, cool cabernet blend with plenty of darker fruit but not in the overblown fruit spectrum.
