Deep garnet red with crimson hue. Pop and pour the nose showing a lot of spicy oak, some aeration help to reveal eucalyptus, red fruits and hints of leafiness. It has the varietal expression on palate showing blackcurrant, cherry, sweet fruits. Soft on entry with eucalyptus notes leading to medium finish with a soft grip. A little disappointed on this bottle as I recalled I was impressed by the same wine during a Kilikanoon wine dinner, medium+ bodied and full of flavours. Wonder what magic the host did to make the wines tasted so good that night.

Oppened and did quick decanting. This still appears a bit young. Massive nose with spices, leather and dark fruit.

Mineral, even salty, but also sweet fruit, eucalyptus and milk chocolate, round, ripe and warm. Yummie.
