Unbelievably, still alive. Very developed with classic tobacco but still some fruit. No point in keeping any longer though. Very enjoyable drinking but nothing special at this stage.

A bit past its prime. Overall a fairly classic aged Bordeaux nose developing but the body was lacking and there was a lightness and lack of grip that was disappointing.

This starts with a cherry tobacco nose- really interesting & really Aussie. Flavors of tabacco, blueberry and dusty, smooth tannins that survive past the fading fruity. While definitely New World, it has plenty of acidity to stand up to a meaty dish. Drinking very nicely right now, I suspect it should be consumed in the next year or two.

Coonawarra cabernet. Drank in 2022, won't get any better than this, but was still showing good fruit.

Concentrated with some blackberry; moderate finish.
