  Colour orange , red hues with slight browning on edges see photo in comments
  Nose primary fruits have been replaced by aged characters of soft tannin, wet leather, cedar, tobacco, wet earth , no unpleasant flavours detected
  Palate , more of the same on the palate savoury, earthy, tar, chocolate, coffee, cigar box, nutty, mushroom and grilled meat flavours
  Overall classic Coonawarra Shiraz , cork was wet to 75% of its length 45mm

  Still in fantastic condition considering its age and that I should have drunk it decades ago

  After having a Lindemans Pyrus 1985 the other day I thought I would try a few more old Coonawarra reds
