  This was a stunning wine at 20 years of age. Still ruby red in colour, good nose and lovely balance of flavour vs soft warm tannins.

  Excellent. A robust wine that seems to have years left in it. 14% alc.
  Colour: black berry
  Bouquet: rich dusty black currant
  Palate: gorgeous concentrated rich blackberry, touches of mint, charry oak, earthy, spice, big soft fine grained tannins, well integrated oak and acid and fruit density, very dry, slightly short finish

  2001 was the last vintage bottled under the Orlando label. Couple of hours in the decanter which was definitely required. Touch of mint and currants. Enjoyable but I think on the decline.

  Opened up beautifully in the glass to display aromas of earth, mint, blackcurrant leaf and softened berry fruit. Plenty of complexity and it had a wonderful melted chocolate texture. Perfect to drink now.

  Deep brick in colour, with a classic coonawarra cab nose of tomato leaf, blackcurrant, earth and a hint of mint. Medium to full bodied, with similar flavours, a hint of oak, a lovely silky texture and a strong, long finish. I really enjoyed this, it had great purity and depth of flavour. Still on the youthful side, it should last a while (A-).
