  Nose of sweet tobacco, aged, integrated dark fruit notes, lovely.
  Palate of secondary fruit and oak that’s fully integrated, complex and delicious.
  Long complex finish that completes the experience.
  Delicious
  Would buy again.

  醒酒一个小时，浑浊的深宝石红色，闻香有草本植物，石墨，香草奶油和话梅一类陈年果香，入口酸度中高，酒液咸，口中回甘，单宁已经完全化开，细腻如粉，桉树一类植物气息混合着梅果的香气，话梅味一直延伸到余味，酒液甜美，满口香草奶油。中等酒体，香气复杂，有着新世界的特征，陈年又让它多了一些旧世界的优雅，精致的细节打磨，口感非常平衡，老年份澳洲赤霞珠的标杆体验。

  Sometime the opening act can tell you much about the wine. The nose had an essence of spice, an allure of something exciting to come. Well, upon the first taste, the wine opened itself in quite a delicate and discrete manner. Sweet, dark plum and cherry followed by spices through the middle palate and it ends with a lingering savoury note. Quite a dry wine and high on acidity. It had depth of complexity and layers of flavours that make the wine very enjoyable. Quite an intellectual wine and the good Doctor would have enjoyed it immensely. One of more interesting Bordeaux blends.

  I've had mixed success with this iconic Oz wine, but this one was rather nice.
  
  Dark and youthful, but with a tinge of brown on the edge. Not too complex on the nose. General black berries with a strong hit of curry spice and cumin. Surprisingly sweet on entry. Red fruit - cherry, strawberry. Turns savory on the mid-palate. Bittersweet chocolate, smoke, pepper. Rather high acidity, but that's balanced by the fruit sweetness. Soft tannins. Pop and pour is fine. Good length although there's a touch of bitterness coming through at the end. Excellent at this stage, but no hurry to drink up.
  
  66% Cabernet, 20% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot.
