Nose of blackberry and eucalyptus. Refreshingly less than full bodied. Finish is simple, but the acids are reasonably well integrated, which I don't always find to be the case when South Australian cabs take on age. P.S. Not surprisingly, the finish is a bit more firm and structured out of a smaller glass, but at the expense of losing some of the nose relative to a larger glass.

This is still humming. Tannins and acid profile, touch of fruit, bit of alcohol bite on the back palate. Little thin, but not unexpected at the age. I’m enjoying it.

delightful with notes of violet, dark fruit, and blue fruits that reminds you of mulberries. Still has a surprising amount of structure in the bottle. Fairly rich flavors but not a very long finish.
A good time to drink now but will not be declining anytime soon.

Good Wine with a Boring Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Social walk-around tasting, brief note. Enjoyable aromas with ripe fruit and balancing savory spice. Riper palate with a sweeter and imperfectly balanced finish.
