  Mocca on the nose and on the somewhat astrigent palate. Its clean and balanced but the thinness of the vintage shows through in the lack of aftertaste. Tannins retreat after a couple of hours, however it's still a bit too sour for my taste.

  88 day one, upped to 90 day two. Needed a couple of hours to open up. Still plenty of darker fruit showing but also some meatier and mocha notes coming through. If a nose can be velvety, this is. Plenty of structure and the tannins still have some opportunity to soften to make the palate more harmonious. Hopefully enough fruit to last well.
  
  Day 2: more together on the whole, oak and pencil shaving notes a touch more prominent.

  still very fresh and young. grippy tannins, love the acidity, would be supergreat with steak or game. better to decant for an hour or so. strong and vibrant. will age in bottle well for a few more years. 90 pts.

  Leather and cedar, dark fruit, light but lovely chewy texture with soft tannins. Nice long finish. Opens up beautifully in the glass.

  Divino Wine Tasting Party (Foveaux Street, Surry Hills): Savoury blackcurrant, a little sweet spice supported by plums, red berry, slight leather, earth. Medium plus intensity acidity, wetly fleshy, blackcurrant with a slight sour red fruit underpin and slightly chalky tannins. Okay
