Wow. This was wonderful tonight. Balanced and I believe, at its peak. Too bad it's my last bottle. I drank the others too soon. I wish I had waited on those.

Decanted for 3 hours. Having a few vintages of this label, I keep scratching my head wondering why Spottswoode does this. They change vineyards each year and the quality of the juice is consistenly just "okay".

beautiful purple color, wine improved with decanting. Very well integrated wine with tastes of jam and bright fruit. Coats your mouth and hangs on for a long finish. Very good.

Very much enjoyed, but agree with previous post that this is young. Bright red color, fresh and fruit forward on the nose. Not out of balance, but it does not yet seem fully integrated.

Well made wine but pretty straight forward. Medium finish.

Very nice. Wish I had more than the one bottle. In a good spot and approachable. Lush fruit, not too jammy. Everything in balance.

This was not ready to drink yet. Way too intense, concentrated. Needs at least 2 to 3 more years.
