From a magnum that had been waiting for last couple years,thought we would use Dad's party as a chance to open for the non discerning part of the crowd...my last recollection of this wine was an overprocessed mass market wine...this was a little better
Very full bodied, typically Aussie wine. Nose was blackberry and oak. Palate was currants, plum, spices. Fair amount of heat that seemed to wane later in the evening. Seems to lack structure and feels manufactured. Not bad for the price point, the broader crowd seemed to like it

I should have drunk it earlier. My mouth feels tarty. Well let me go find my other 2008's and drink them before they get worse

Still tasty even though a bit late. Very smooth. Some cherry, not much pepper
