Last bottle of 12, very dark, concentrated, moderately extracted, plenty of typical Aussie dark fruit, a good dose of oak, RS is noticeable but in check, appears to be fully integrated. Paired nicely with pistachio encrusted rack of lamb!

Lovely nose of fresh fruit, spice and earth all nicely integrated. Incredible potential. On the palate the tannins are soft but still very high, overwhelming some of the more delicate flavours.
Medium garnet colour.
Medium (+) intensity aromas of black berry, black cherry, dark plum, strawberry, roasted meat, oak, cloves, allspice, dried herbs and asphalt.
Medium (+) intensity palate.
Full body, medium (+) acidity, high tannin, long finish.

Great wine and in a much more youthful place than a 2007 I enjoyed a year ago. This has lots more muscle and life left.
If I had any more I would be tempted to wait 3-4 years.
Excellent wine at a good price.
