2012 Sydney Royal Wine Show - Exhibitor's Tasting (Olympic Park, Homebush): {screwcap} Youful blackberry/plum aromas. A little earthiness too. Balance is the hallmark of the palate here: it’s a medium wine in all respects; acid, tannin, weight. Also just medium-bodied length, too. Not a high-impact wine. Suspect this will be better short term than long. It’s just a bit too astringent to think it will really blossom one day, especially with four years passed already.

Nose of charcoal, bourbon, and black fruit. Palate shows bold fruit: similar to the 2015, but slightly softer and silkier.

Caramel and smoky new French oak nose. Bright on entry. Cherry and oak palate. Drink much later. 93++.
