It tastes of eucalyptus, cedar and blackcurrant. There is a lick of kalamata olive on the finish and the tannins are soft and resolved. It is a good, gutsy wine, and I suspect also a good mouthwash for some.

I liked this. The Wine Society Cellar Plan notes talk about "blackberry, blackcurrant and fresh mint aromas - [which I get] - with hints of chocolate and leather which are not really showing at the moment. Concentrated and grippy, yes, and improving with each half hour of air. Good job.

Shows promise. Leave the rest a couple more years.

Better on night 2, but a bit average for the price.

I nailed my note last time around - this is the same wine after a couple of years. Very enjoyable.
