The back label reads with (un?)characteristic Aussie understatement “This wine has the potential to age for many years”. Hmmm. I’d say only ten or fifteen more
Pristine cork, moderate sediment, fresh acidity in garnet fruit. An extra year has only improved it. Still bright snd tangy with a savoury underlayer

The cork had dried our to the point it was very brittle but after decanting and leaving to air for an hour it drank very well , I'll be drinking the remaining bottles over the short term . 20 years in a bottle hasn't done this wine any harm.

At just short of 20, this is still youthful in colour, just a hint of browning on rim
On palate, acidity is holdingwell, tannins and fruit well into tertiary notes.
Complex, yet so appealing

Can't argue with the dark fruit; tannins softening, stands up well to striplings 10 years younger

Good for a few years yet, dark acidity, firm tannins, lovely black berries
