Purchased in Sydney on release. Inky dark color. Unmistakably Aussie nose of charcoal, boot polish, and black cherries. Dense, but not as plush as previous vintages. A little more green and astringent. Fruit is tinged with baking chocolate. Some lovely mint notes on the finish. I'll hold my other bottle for a couple more years to see if it smoothes out a bit.
