Black currant, cranberry, tobacco in the nose. Tart dark fruits in flavor, smooth mouthfeel. Sharp, lingering tannins that balance fatty foods. Goes very well with ribeye steak, Brussel sprouts and sweet potatoes

We probably gave this only an hour to breathe and drank it over another 90 minutes. It continued to improve until the end, including the last sip which was the best. It would have benefitted from at least two hours decanting and then you'll get it's full potential. By the end we'd tasted some black pepper and milk chocolate cocoa. I picked up herbal/medicinal notes. Good tannin. I'm glad we drank it now, even though another year would be fine too.

On tour with Tim and Phil day one (Canberra Districts and Beechworth): Double decanted. Medium minus intensity aromas of black hued fruits; blackcurrant; black berry; plum, very slightly reductive, a little sweet spice. Juicy, savoury dark fruit then plenty of firm grippy and grapey drying tannins, dark fruits translate to the palate but it's all oddly lightweight surprisingly. Hmm.

Poor quality price ratio. A good wine, but not for this price. Nice tanines. Is very good with food. It needs food. Taste is a bit watery. Not much layers

Very good once it opened up. But even after a few minutes, worked well with a steak. 2 days later last glasses with spaghetti were excellent.
