Triple aerated, decanted for 30mins. Some tannic residue. Dark red. Plenty of oak on the nose. Medium body, aged dry, some tanning, some acid, still plenty of oak initially, long on the tonge, dark berries, sweet berries, camphor.

Under cork. Rich cassis developed nose, very sweet & ripe, floral, dark fruit, leather, camphor, forest floor. Palate; full flavored, tannins integrated, complex and rounded. Lovely aged dry red. I love other vintages of this wine but this is particularly good. Very consistent, high quality, under-rated and great value.

One of the few standard bearer wineries to still have euc taint. In other respects a stellar wine. Cleaner than the old vine cuvee, retaining florality, a dusky fruit quiality and some old cellar aroma

Extraordinary wine. Deep and structured, with a long lingering finish. Cassis with a hint of menthol. Still has years in it. Australian Bordeaux.
