Opened in company without full attention given to the wine, so just a couple of notes: 1. Improved after opening over a few hours, encouraging given the age. My last bottle but has years to go, this was a magnum though. 2. The dominant tasting thought I had was that the wine was 'black'. Dark fruit, some licorice, dark chocolate and earthy spice, a bit of eucalyptus. Brooding.

On opening there was a slightly sour nose, which thankfully disappeared after a 30 minute decant. Very smooth tannins, good black fruit. Drinking well but probably reaching the end of its top drinking plateau. Mrs B wondered whether whole bunches were used? ****

I think it is in the window to give us the pleasure of drinking it! Still dark ruby in colour, a nose of classic Penfolds shiraz but with a more refinement! Medium to full body, dried herbs, red ripe shiraz fruits coats your palate! Singing now and is ascending to another level!
