  Medium plus intensity aromas of jubey sweet red fruits; cherry and plum, with some brambly notes, leather, muted vanilla and coconut, a bit of sweet spice and a touch of clove as well as plentiful oak. In the mouth the wine is slightly juicy with black and red fruits, vanilla and muted coconut and a little spice then surprisingly chewy oaky tannins. Surprisingly good. And, despite the specified drinking window, by no means tired and done.

  Nose of concentrated fruit sludge (blackberry, cherry), olive and anise. Palate is showing very concentrated blackberry cordial with a side of malic acid. Brown apple and rhubarb on the finish. Despite the intense flavour, it's showing signs of advanced age: a hint of oxidation, full-resolved tannins, and a disintegrated structure. I'm afraid it hasn't aged gracefully.

  Wine is still in great condition after 15 years. Intensely flavoured new world claret.

  Inky dark garnet in the glass. Beautiful nose of roasted capsicum, dusty cassis, cocoa powder, winter spices, classic cigar box. Soft velvety textures with still structured tannins and soft fruit - more cassis, earth, chocolate, and eucalyptus mint. Savory tobacco notes, cool nilgiri tea and mushrooms on the finish. Complex but well integrated. Enjoyable now, and won't develop further.
