Another of those bottles that got 'lost' at the bottom of the rack, gave it a couple of hours decant, very dark no fading on rim. Lovely scented raspberries, blackcurrants and oak, tasting of ripe red fruits some spice and a slight herby flavour, big but not over the top, lovely example of the grape, something you used to see more of in Australian wines, sadly not so much today. Still years in this one amazingly fresh after 15 years.

Open 10 hours, served 5-10f below ambient temperature
Still little sign of aging, moderate sediment
Dark spice on nose, much more intense on palate

Still dark for grenache, dark spice on nose. Powerful alcohol balanced by long acidity
Still showing a lot younger than 2005. Increasing bite over course of meal
