Cellartracker in the flesh with Bandreas (Bernd and Bea) (Bistro Rex, Potts Point): Less obviously ebullient than the Wynn's...tomato leaf, black cherry and currant, a smidge of mint. Juicy acidity tends to medium plus intensity, black hued fruits are less delineated here, coffee moves to mocha, tight, textured slightly chalky grip, alcohol warmth on the finish. A little muted overall. Hmm.

Tasted with Chatters in Sydney: Very polished and smooth, with typical eucalyptus nose. Soft, elegant and smooth on the palate with a healthy kick of acidity in the background. As the evening wore on, the initial attraction faded and the wine lost some of its lustr. Also the price difference between this wine and the black lace Wynn or the Block 95 from the same producer did not show in the glass. At the end of the day I would prefer either of the two alternatives; they are much better values .

Red over blackcurrant, touches of Ribena, sweet spice, cedar. Juicy , fleshy, grippy tannins, black hued fruits persist very long. Fresh, balanced. Nice.

Coonawarra Roadshow (Masonic Hall, Goulburn street): Blackcurrant, sweet spice, a touch of mint, red hued fruit in support. Juicy, tangy, plenty of slightly chalky tannin dries out the palate, slight red over black fruits. Hmm.
