{screwcap, 13.5%} Still a deep garnet. Finally some development on the nose, with chocolate, black fruit, spice. Smells quite deep and ripe. The palate has only moved slightly off primary, with something of a closed down sense to it. Although, I’ve just opened and poured, so perhaps my fault. Medium weight, with finely gritty tannins, subtle oak, medium acidity. The palate has polished classy black fruit, much less pepper and spice than I found in earlier bottling, although it’s still present. Medium length finish, not quite outstanding but probably only going to get better. Still no rush to drink.

12 months since my last and it is still on the way up, many moons in front of it. I will try to hold off 12 months for my next but it is drinking really well now

Good Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz.
Dark fruit, moderate acidity and nice texture.

Like others have said on the way up… still wound tight, plenty of fruit, very enjoyable.
