It took a while to open in a big decanter thru an aerator. Nothing too fancy or complex, but a solid, dark flavoured Australian cabernet sauvignon. Good tannins but shortish length.

Fairly closed nose, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, graphite, pepper, and vanilla fondant. Palate is medium-bodied, dry, and tight, with smooth, polished tannin. Strong blackcurrant flavour, with well-integrated oak and a hint of chocolate. Finish is pleasantly bitter and slightly astringent.

Coonawarra Roadshow (Town Hall, Sydney): Sweet berry fruit, slightly meaty notes. In the mouth more of the same, with medium minus chalky tannins tails off and is quite simple.

Pretty solid but nothing too fancy. Weak aromatics, disappointing overall.

Solid but ends up on the sweet side. Won't buy again.
