Just rolling over the hill. This wine has some complexity; ripe dark berries, cedar and eucalyptus notes. Tannins are well integrated and mellowed. A great wine that should be consumed ASAP unless you prefer a port-like level of oxidation.

Very dissappointing, this bottle had been in climate controlled storage for 8 years andafter 3 hours decanter was still flat and lifeless. Kept it over night and on the second night it was not giving any more away.

Judgement de Li Hwan (2005 Bordeaux v New World Cabernet): This is a grand ole dame with new world decadence aura. This is what aussie wines can do when good and aged. Still intense but with some elegance ...full mouthfeel with good dark fruits with a dash of eucalyptus mint and some dark choc. Medium to long finish that is satisfying.

Strong hints of Cherry and Chocolate on the nose. Medium bodied and a very smooth, moderate finish.
