Fine, rich, perfumed, elegant, wonderful balance. Medium weight. Exquisitely perfumed. Rich, balanced, wonderful complexity & elegance. Amazing at 16 years. Even better with time.

Tasted after 2021 Tappa Pass and 2013 Mount Edelstone and the quality jump is immediately noticeable. Ripe blackberry aromas rise out of the glass. Blackberry, plum and cherry on the palate with vanilla and a hint of licorice. It's a concentrated, powerful wine with a big, plush mouthfeel. I'd very happily drink a lot of this if I could afford it.

BBC Long weekend 2021; 6/11/2021-6/13/2021: Typically refined style but with lovely intensity. Youthful, delicious primary flavours, an undercurrent of darker spice still overwhelmed by youth at this point.

Langtons Classification Tasting Sydney 2018. What a treat in tasting a bit dominated by latest releases and it distinguished itself for displaying some appropriate ageing. Plenty of primary fruitedness but with a sense of age, integration, and complexity. Dark and red plums, blackberry, a little sweet aromatic spices and some leathery beef. So well balanced.
