Agree with the last poster, wine only just getting to be approachable. Cassis, plum and eucalypt on the nose. Medium, grippy tannins and plum on the pallet. Has a nice long finish. A classy wine, but one with years to go.

Crimson at the rim, tending to black at the core - initially mainly oak on the nose, followed up later by menthol and cherries. Full bodied but not over the top, this bottle is less fruit forward than the last 6 months ago - not sure if that is bottle variation or aging. The acid is quite pronounced - in a bit of an awkward phase at the moment.

Crimson in glass
Sweetish berry and tea-leaf aromas
Medium-bodied, in a sweet phase of maturity. Probably a couple of years yet at this level.
Dark berries, firm tannins, savoury finish

Nice but doesn't live up to the hype.
