  Under screw cap, opened for about 40 minutes, but not decanted, plenty of tertiary, characters, chocolate, coffee, and tobacco. Some primary fruit still present, not a lot of herbaceous notes, more black fruit. drinking well now.

  Enjoyed the three bottles of this wine drunk over two years. Very Shiraz-like in its big Barossa style. No black current or bell pepper. More syrup and chocolate.

  Had a funk initially but blew off after 15 minutes. Pretty delicious for about a half hour, but it fell a part into a sloppy acidic mess. Missed this one by a couple years.

  Contrary to the other notes here, I actually really enjoyed this wine. Lots of black fruit fruit, sweet oak and fine tannins. It just got better and better as we drank the bottle.
