Excellent; rose oil on the nose, eucalyptus and black currants on the palate; great finish; very good balance; at its peak, but not past it, very, very enjoyable.

Still very nice--eucalyptus, cedar, and some nice dark fruit. I didn't pay as much attention to this bottle as to the last one, but I can't think of any way this could have been better.
I'll be on the lookout for more.

Very precise Coonawarra nose, with cedar, eucalyptus, and some residual red fruit. The acid was still present, but the tannins were completely resolved. More eucalyptus and herbs on the palate, leather, a bit more fruit. Really really nice, and exactly what I look for when I reach for an older bottle of Coonawarra.

SLDS April 2018: Capsicum, tomato leaf, cassis, roast vegetables and cherry on the nose. Strongly herbal, but feels very representative of Australian Cabernet of this era. Good tannins still giving it structure and very good length. Will drink well now and over the next 5 years.

Delightful! Dark, liquorice, dark fruit, smooth, long finish, medium tanin. Very very drinkable.
