  First Wednesday Wine Club (Bella Puglia, Five Dock): Served blind
  leather, liquorice, black plum tends to prune. Juicy acidity, red and black fruit, a little almost sweetness, plenty of grip is woody tight, minty elements.
  For some reason I had Heathcote Shiraz in my head.

  Remarkably dark colour.
  
  Very fragrant (pristine cork obviously), mint, chocolate, cassis. Noticeable oak at least at prior to breathing.
  
  Sweet intense minty fruit, menthol, with chalky tannin finish. Lovely acid. Nice weight. Fresh, classy. Concentrated.
  
  Distinctly Coonawarra.
  
  Match to strongly flavoured food.
  
  Hard to believe this is from 1996. Obviously well cellared. Bottles like these surely must comfortably sail through another 20 years.. no maybe not, the cork is likely to begin to fail (it wasn’t an expensive looking cork).
  
  13%, cork.

  Fruit and acid and tannins all in beautiful balance

  Opened at last Fri wine group. Decanted 2 hours earlier. Drank well and stood up well against Black label and st Hugo.
  I think the wine will not get better and I will drink the next two bottles soon. Perhaps just a decline in fruit with age.
