Intense black fruit, oak, pepper, tobacco. Mid-acidic with dense tannin. Texture is a little stuffy and too inky. Well-balanced overall, but nothing special in it. Not bad for the value but not my thing.

A bit sharp early but settled nicely. Surprisingly plush and friendly but in the most polite way. Fluffy berry fruits. seemingly no need to hold further but I get the sense it will keep. (off list @ Nomad)

This is a wine with plenty to say. Plenty of depth of flavour, very aromatic, Bordeaux like. (Quite a) bit of gloss.
An interesting counterpoint to the 16 which was far more serious, tannic, dark fruited at this age. This is suave and sexy - easy to enjoy at this stage in its development. Giddy up.

Cab sav, Merlot and Malbec blend - similar % as the wine we blended at Mandoon Estate - very drinkable
