Stood upright and opened around an hour before drinking, decanted about half an hour before. It's pretty consistent with the last bottle opened perhaps 6 months ago. A little medicinal to taste, and with that slightly burnt rubbery smell. It has got dark fruit, cherries, but it is a little sharp and disjointed, not resolving particularly well. It has a long after taste, and is quite hot still, not wearing it's alcohol content particularly well. It's trying to be a big blockbuster shiraz, but it doesn't work for me. I'm not a huge fan of the style to be honest and rather wish I didn't have another dozen bottles in the cellar.

I liked this. Turning bricky red on the edges, decanted for an hour before drinking. Good dark fruit flavours, black cherry flavours, still quite good acidity. Nicely balanced wine, very typical Bordeaux. Probably getting to its peak now and will need drinking up over next couple of years.
