Oh wow has this aged. Little brownish tint on the edges. Nice matured nose. Not really flat at all on the palate. Good flavors, I get that pepper and wood planks on the back end. Very nice. A bit like Amarone almost, slightly pruney. Good value wine.

Absolutely stunning! An hybrid between a great Bordeaux and a great Australian. Mature, rich, VERY complex and balanced - not heavy at all. Drinking beautifully right now, but can be cellared for another 5-7 years garanteed.

Decanted for 2 hours prior. I had high hopes for this but it has really faded since having it a couple of years ago. There is fruit but it is somewhat muted and hard to discern individual flavors. There are slightly austere tannins and still a little heat on the finish which I would have thought have integrated more. Disappointing.

CHERRIES, BLACK RASPBERRIES, LEATHER, AND EARTHINESS IN THE NOSE. BLACK CHERRIES IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.

I really liked this. After the time in the bottle I think the wine is drinking great. It's a big merlot -- which I like, very burgandy like.
