  Cork smelled a little of TCA. I don't smell it in the wine though. It's fairly rich and that was kind of expected. Old-school Barossa type here, packed with ripe, almost cooked fruit, globs of new oak spice, pounds of fleshy, powerful juicy fruit smothered in dark chocolate... that kind of hedonistic vibe. With time, I get a little bit of that 4-EG brett, the clove-y spicy kind of polished-leather brett. Doesn't detract a huge amount though and I think it's a bit lost in the power and weight of fruit anyway. Doesn't look like it's aged a day from release really. Bit clunky looking overall and not my cup of tea these days but it certainly delivers if you want a bit of a monster.

  somehow this bottle didn't perform well, a bit too plummy and lack the freshness ...

  Try not to decant for too long, 30 mins to 1 hour should be sufficient.

  Afternoon Australian wine tasting.
  
  Decanted for 1 1/2 hours.
  
  The wine is clear with deep purple colour and legs.
  
  On the nose it is clean, pronounced intensity, aroma characteristic of liquorice, dark cocoa, pepper, prune, kirsch, cassis, jaminess, vanilla, and oak.
  
  On the palate it is dry with low acidity, medium tannin, 15% alcohol, full body and pronounced intensity and flavour of plum, spice, pepper, red fruits, vanilla, chocolate, eucalyptus, coffee. Finishes long. Very good wine on this ocassion as compared to tasting it 2 years ago which was outstanding. A little disappointing, fell flat in the end, and lack of fruit structure to hold. Maybe it is just going through a dumb phase. Only the future will tell. Keep first. Or perhaps drink it after decanting for a short while, too much air doesn't do it any good.

  Double decanted and left for an indeterminate amount of time - upwards of five hours...Woof woof! Ripe and perfumed black fruits especially berries and cherries, worked oak. Broad and textured on the palate but without being too bolshy or rambunctious. Fruit carries long on the lengthy finish. Very nice in it's own way.
