{screwcap, 13.7%} Maturing, and less green than I remember. Still leafy and herbal, but not overtly green. Medium weight. There’s some dark currant, tomato leaf. Palate has medium dusty tannins, low/medium acidity. Finish is even, but a bit short. A decent enough second wine, and although this will keep I can’t see improvement.

{screwcap, 13.7%} Herbal, dark curranty nose. Quite youthful still. Does tend a bit towards asparagus on the palate but there's plenty of real cabernet flavour here too. Low dusty tannins, minimal oak, medium/high acidity. Medium weight overall. Little bit of a mid-palate hole too. It's a decent second wine, if you don't pay more than about $35! It'll keep, but I always think the greener aspects become more pronounced with age.

Young (very) and somewhat unyielding early. Tight dry fruits, grainy soft tannin, dark herbs. It's really trying to get going but needs at least another 5 years. Classy as expected.
