  Auswine offline (Darlinghurst, Sydney): Still deep red, no bricking. Sweet coconut & vanilla US oak is all I can detect on the nose. My goodness. The label says aged in oak for 30 months – could be 30 years. There’s a little blackberry fruit buried somewhere on the palate, but the sweet oaky flavours dominate everything. The tannins are quite fine, but still overpowering in the last analysis. I can’t help feeling that by the time the tannins have receded the fruit will be gone. Too much oak for me, but I for those who like the style it’s a great wine.
