A reflection on the vintage? Weak in nose and medium body. Fairly subtle in taste. Fruit is not overwhelming. After 3 hours lots of herbs emerge. Noticeable mentol in the beginning and medium spice finish. Not a typical Aussie Cab.

It presents glossy black with a rich distant elegance of black chocolate and olives. Even as it airs out it remain tight and powdery with dry wood tannin. Decent effort.

On day two some green notes alongside the Aussie fruit character. Fairly balanced but otherwise inditinguishable from the rest of the field at this price point.

Deep garnet red, nose of blackcurrant, cherry and notes of spicy oak. Soft on the palate, light to medium bodied, blackcurrant, cherry and hints of green capsicum. Some unripeness thought is still acceptable, very soft tannins with spicy medium long finishing. It lacks of structure to age, drink now.

Green, herbal nose
Decent fruit, some spice
At this price point, not too bad and has held up pretty well

Black/brown color. Aromatically challanged at this point. Very light-bodied with some red currant that is soft & dusty.
