  12/14/2020 - Tony Molester Likes this wine:

  Signs of seepage
  Level below shoulder
  Saturated cork, with spongey bubbling
  Lots of sediment, decanting and sieving are recommended.
  
  Wine was still in good condition
  Blossomed over first hour, then showed signs of decline after a few more hours.
  
  Despite poor bottle condition, this was delicious, and carried the tahbilk flavour profile after all these years.
  
  Drink up
  12.5% abv

  David and Pascale's wine team dinner. Excellent wine. Very barnyardy and Rhoney. The closest Aussie wine to a Hermitage. Tannic structured multidimensional. After breathing its origins became a little clearer - but only a little. Save the next one for a while. Good value. One week later - lots of burnt rubber very tannic - but fine grained. Some herbal qualities. Excellent wine but definately Australian on balance due to the American oak. I like the structure.
