  Tasted after a 45 minute decant. Dark ruby in colour with a definite garnet hue. Initial aromas were an earthy forest floor transitioning to herbal, mocha, leather with a hint of black fruit. On the palate, medium to full bodied, juicy black fruit, blackberry/black cherry/cassis, more herbal than floral, hint cedar, earthy, olive tapinade, medium acidity, high soft tannins with a long finish to spice, cassis & leather. Flavour is changing as the wine opens up, nicely done!

  PNP. This wine needs more time in the bottle, but it is very good now. Dense dark fruit profile with wonderful secondary characteristics. Decant for 1-2 hours minimum now. Have 1 more & will wait at least 5 more years.

  Dark garnet color turning crimson at the rim with a reflective edge. The nose gives off smoked mushrooms, tobacco, leather and forest floor from the black and red berries. Now that it has come with considerable age, the wine has reached a proper balance of primary, secondary and even tertiary flavors. At the onset, the palate is silky smooth with medium acidity to lift the ripe black currant, cassis and black cherry compote with secondary flavors of cedar, dark chocolate and pencil shavings all the way to a very smooth, silky textural finish with hints of salinity that’s so enticing and elegant. Drink now until 2028.

  Coravin'd a glass. Wow this welcoming, rich, velvety blend is a beauty. Normally we wouldn't even bother to leave a TN for a single glass, knowing we'd be enjoying the bottle soon.
  
  But golly, this is G O O D stuff!!!
  
  Many awesome bottles remind us of 10+ YO Penfolds juice, w tobacco, pepper, smoke & earth. This is one of those relished gems.
  
  Couldn't get a feel for aeration and how or whether it'd get better with time, because, well, um, the glass was empty nearly as quick as it was set at the table for the yummy vegetarian red pasta sauce dish.
  
  This is dinner table, yum.
  
  We'll detail out further info when we fork out the cork.
  
  Enjoy.
