Stored in varied conditions so was a little nervous opening this up. Under cork which held up well. Colour still fresh & bright with only a hint of age. One the nose raspberry, dark cherries, cassis and stewed fruit with hints of white pepper and caramel. Luscious satin mouth feel lasting 30sec with great balance, slight bitterness at the end. Drinking beautiful well now - I wonder how long it would last under ideal storage conditions.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #051; TOP Australia. (by EvA): Chocolate and coffee in the bouquet and on the palate. Light bodied. Slightly unpleasant acidity which indicates this wine is past its prime. Some bitterness in the finish. Not really bad yet, but if this is not an off bottle this wine should be drunk a.s.a.p. No score.

Amazing nose with excellent height of blueberry, chicory, pencil shavings, roses and licorice. Mouth of licorice, dates and figs with good balance. Medium length finish of orange peel
