Very fragrant and balanced bouquet of ripe plums, minty black chocolate, cola, smoked star anise and oregano with some minerality. Forward and expressive but not in your face. Palate is as fragrance as the nose, rich with vanilla nuances on the palate, ending with a lift of acidity. It is not heavy at all. The structure is polished and open. The same aromatic profile follows from entry to a finish which is deep and long. At its peak now and will continue to keep well for the next 3 years.

I really don’t like this wine but others clearly do, so I’ll put it down to poor cellaring from a previous owner. Blah. Clarendon Hills from the same vintage superb.

Awful wine. Thin, insipid and astringent. Hoping this is only a poor bottle as I have five more. I will drink another in two weeks to compare.
