  I found this to be a well-balanced wine, medium bodied, with a good amount of mostly black fruit but softened by some cherry tones. Tannins were moderate with a long finish. I truly enjoyed this bottle, and it went well with some beef lasagna.

  {screwcap, 13.5, ~A$9} Solid garnet, although not truly dense. Fresh youthful nose of raspberry jam and banana ester. Vague vanilla/varnish note. Diffuse, quite soft palate of anonymously ripe fruit, with just a little residual sugar to paper over any cracks. Just medium-bodied, and with an increasingly candied, short finish. Little tannin and minimal acid. In the purest sense of the term it's quite well-balanced, but there's not a lot to balance. Drinkable commercial quaffer, although no more than that.
