  Last Bottle. Amazingly good. Hard to compare without a side-by-side comparison with its younger self, but everything was still there in force. Nice color and nose, with a decent Syrah spiciness, although mellowed with time. One of the cellared winners!

  still a delicious bottle! down to my last two after having purchased 10 on release. still has plenty of rich, dark fruit. oak is more prominent now with a little fading of the fruit over the years. past it's prime as this was a wine that was better young; it is however still good after the years. One bottle left that I'll try to consume this year. I rated this a 91 on release.

  Outstanding value. Rich, blueberry, blackberry and oak flavours. Very aromatic. Dense colour, full-bodied.
