  Yummy! This wine has sailed through the years with grace and ease. Aside from the slightest blemish, there at birth in any case, of a touch too much oak, the fruit, tannin, alcohol, and acidity of this Cuvee are all in balance. It's sailed even keeled across the decades. There were and presumably still are plenty of amazing wines coming out of Australia. This was a ~12USD purchase for me back in '07.

  Nice smooth wine - - nothing special but a decent weekday value wine. Improved a point or two with some air. I'd say drink up.

  Sad to say this was my last bottle. Definitely drinking great right now. Decant for 1 hour.
