  Dark reddish-purple in color with clearing at the edges. Full, forward, & fragrant nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & black plums with overtones of dried herbal & some floral notes, earthy/dusty, loam, pepper, minerals, vanilla & oak in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & plums with herbs, spices, minerals, vanilla & oak. Drinks well at present with decanting & airing but at 16 years of age, it is at or near its peak of development, so drink up!

  This was my last bottle of this vintage (1 magnum remains). Cork cored badly, and there was some initial VA. However, cork particles were duly removed and the wine decanted for two hours. There was much sediment, most of which adhered to the bottle. Colour still dark red with some brick around the edges. Quite closed on the nose, opened in the glass revealing sage, olives, and plum. Smooth and harmonious on the palate, fruit just beginning to recede, acid evident but not intrusive, smooth tannins. Drink them up (especially given the dodgy corks)! I wonder if our American friends find similar issues with Australian corks circa 1990 - 2010?

  Even after 15 years, still tasting very young and vibrant, very ripe, aromatic, and etremely fruit forward. Suited for the heaviest of dishes. I just cannot detect anything that hints of aging.
