This has seriously improved since my last bottle. There was some fine sediment coating the neck of the bottle, which surprised me. The tannins and alcohol heat have settled quite a bit, and the berry flavors are very strong overtop some traces of nuttiness. Now I wish I had totally cleaned out the place I bought the case from years ago!

Drinking perfectly. Well balanced between nut and fruit with a bit of leather. On the palate it has a great acidity with more fruit based flavours (I was smoking a cigar at the time, so flavour profile may be slightly off). Overall thoroughly enjoyed.

Nice solid LVB. Raisin, plum and spice; smooth and silky with just a touch tart tang. Good value.

Cornas Birthday lunch (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): Sweet with aromas of leather, ripe berries and currants, spice, earthy, ripe, surprisingly simple and soft. Alcohol well contained. Quaffable.
