SLDS April 2019: Blind. Mint, leather, fur, pencil shavings and cinnamon. Palate is resolved, with good savoury edges to it. Drinking near its peak right now.

SYD OFFLINE Vivino Meet-Up - Feb 2016: My favourite wine of 11 on the night. And a stunning 97/100 (4.6/5.0) from me. The nose had stewed blackberries, mulberries, tobacco smoke, green capsicum and a touch of limestone. The palate followed those flavours with phenomenal depth and richness. It was super smooth, with great lift and a lingering finish, belying it's 1990 vintage date. What a wine to finish the night on.

Pale garnet with a light rim. Lovely mature yet fresh nose with green pepper, eucalyptus, saddle leather and ripe blackcurrant fruit; hints of the smoky oak come through in the glass. Intense and deep yet with silky soft tannins and an old world elegance and weight. The flavours are endless with notes of more green pepper, blackcurrant, tobacco, mint, toasty wood and cooked meat. Lingering Christmas cake flavours on the finish. Brilliant.

Powerful, black fruits with tobac leaf, deep rich flavours. Not oaky. Long but slightly hard finish, not quite the ideal balance.
