  Seemed a lot more open and integral than May’s bottle. Ripe cabernet, cassis, mild supporting oak, medium bodied, medium/long finish. Much better.

  {screwcap, 14%} Not sure what to make of this. Rather sullen for nearly s decade old. Slightly developing, with a herbaceous not, black olives, some currants... served blind I’d say Margaret River. Very new world cabernet, but stern and stentorian. Finely graphite tannins, medium level, medium acidity, medium weight, but always too warm and alcoholic. Also has a big mid palate hole and finishes rather short. I really wanted to like this, too. Would a decant and more cellar time help? Maybe a little, but I’m not really convinced.
