My last bottle of a dozen and it’s the best showing so far. My favourite Aussie Cabernet. This 2000 is spectacular. See my previous notes for specifics. So very good, shame to have none left.

Wine in the Sunshine State; 2/20/2020-2/23/2020 (Florida): Opened and decanted. Wish we'd given it even a bit more time. This is quite young, but as it opened up it was drinking really nicely. Very much the old world Bordeaux style and I'm not even 100% sure that it really seems like new world fruit to it, but I really quite liked it. Secondary characteristics, but with a nice freshness.

Consistent with my last tasting.
I should add the colour is deep garnet. The nose is complex and comes in waves with forest floor, mushroom, blackberries and smoke.

Magnum - bought from Domaine A for $250 AUD
Leather, cedar, cigar box, smoke, blackberries, blackcurrant.
Beautifully soft tannins. This drinks like a classic old-world Bordeaux and has been masterfully created.
It's certainly youthful enough from a magnum to suggest it has years left in it.
Delightful - 94

Everything one would want in a top notch Bordeaux. Lovely core of fruit, savoury complexity. Will improve further.
13.5%, cork.
