Post Stair climb lunch and home 'dessert' (Duck and Swan in Chippendale and back home...): Double decant. On the nose initially biscuit and Bovril, then muted blackcurrant and bramble, cigar box, autumn leaves, touches of baked mushroom and seaweed. As time passes a very slight volatile acidity component begins to become discernible. On the palate the wine is quite spicy with very muted black fruit flavours, tangy with slight cedar and leather notes. Fine tannins. Medium plus length. Bit old socks but a bit lovely as well.
