You know what you are getting with a wine of this era that has Late Harvested on the label. 16% alcohol, but full of fruit and with good acidity. We enjoyed it enormously over the first 3 hours but coming back to it at the end of the evening it had fallen apart, losing most of its fruit. On this basis, drink now..

Aussie Night 2.0 (Buellton, CA): Dense and monolithic, with ripe red currant and minty notes. Full bodied and grippy, but in a style which makes it hard to drink more than one glass.

This bottle is better than the last. Intense fruit, but there is balance. There's a savoury note that somehow finds synergy with the fruit. Firm tannins as well that help. Perhaps this is getting better with more age.

A great wine - opulent dark fruit with great balance and finesse. Should continue to drink well for 5-10 years.

Bought two bottles of this highly rated wine many years ago. Both were flawed DOA. Avoid this....
