Plum, black fruit, pepper, oak, and tobacco, balanced with integrated tannins and acid. Rich mid palate with a nice long finish and an overall smoothness that only age can impart to these grapes from 90+ year old vines in a strong Barossa vintage. One of my favorites, and quite a nice reward after 13 years in my cellar.

Still got plenty of legs. Still got lots of fruit and oak. A well balanced wine.

Drinking an 11 year old wine of this caliber is special. Fruity and rich with pepper notes at the end. Very smooth after cellaring for a decade.
