Return of Shannon: Tobacco and ash, smoke, boot polish and vanilla. The oak and tannin are still prominent on the palate and I don't think this will come together. I had this about 10 years ago and it was awkward then, and it may be even more so now.

Cullen DM vs Moss Wood Cabernet vertical (Sydney, Australia): A tight nose with some tar, blood, blackcurrant and tomato leaf. The palate is austere and the drying tannins are the prominent character that lead into a rather abrupt finish.

Good balance - fruit, acid and tannin. Great texture and length. Impressive. Lots of life ahead but don't hesitate to drink now.
