Drinking beautifully. Soft and unctuous. Same nose as back in 2018 of currant and cassis with the cigar box a little more muted. Lovely at 19 years old - would NOT say past it’s prime…but right in it if you like aged Cabernet. Last of 12 but the best one.

Good purple color. Little light on the edges. Current and cassis nose with tell tale cigar box. Very elegant taste with almost indiscernible tannins. Blue and blackberry. Not a lot of vanilla/oak. Some menthol.
Very pleasurable.

Good cork. Decanted 2h prior to drinking
Still surprisingly fresh with herbaceous nose, dark fruits and softening tannins.
Really enjoyable.

Leeuwin Estate Birthday dinner (with ringins) (Bitton Restaurant, Erskinville): Rich, a touch of soy, savoury red and black fruit, touch of leather and herbaceous notes. Spicy, earthy, juicy red and black fruit, silky tannins, okay.
