Been saving this for a special occasion. Cork went thru which was worrisome, but typical of those old port bottles with tiny corks. Double decanted 3 hrs before consuming. Wine was cloudy, despite standing up for 3 days. Beautiful nose, amazing fruit. Soft, but full tannins. Long finish. Plenty of life in this wine. Another 20 years easily. Simply an amazing wine. Aussie port does not get any better than this. Fortifieds are Australia's most under valued wines. Wish I had more.

Very deep blackish red colour with brick edge. Bouquet is deep and rich evoking prunes and leather. Incredible mix of rich black fruit, with well aged oak and tannin. Great balance and style.

Pretty much agree with JH review: plums blackcurrant and mulberry, some stewed dark fruit but right in the back of the mix. Needs time to fully settle and integrate but should be a cracker in 5yrs or longer.

Big Bottle Lunch: Minimal ullage. Opened a bit skeletal but then blossomed into what all tasters thought was one of the great australian fortifieds. So alive at 53 years of age with solid colour still, purple core. Superb spirit, complexity to burn and a touch of rancio for interest. wow1 What a survivor.

I thought i would have a look at this great young trophy winning wine ,from 2013 and now with 7 years of age . Stelvin closure
Deep Black opaque red in colour with a ruby/purple rim at May 2019. excellent
On opening we have lovely ripe sweet blueberry and black fruits leaping out of the glass with lovely new french oak too still showing. excellent ,class and getting ready for certain.
On the palate we have now , maturing sweet fruit upfront , medium bodied mid palate richness with still strong oily tannins giving great length . Wow for a commercial style it just shows how excellent this wine is, Can live for 3-5yrs yet. McLaren Vale classic.

- Crimsom color with medium forming legs and aromas of blackberry, black currant and cherry. It's balanced and has flavours of prune, cedar and dusty with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish - Surprisingly youthful despite 16 year age. Soft velvety tannins well balanced with primary fruit still prominent. Singing at the moment with some development left to come.

This wine shows no signs of slowing down. Very pronounced aromas of ripe black fruit, cedar, chocolate and leather dominated by mint and eucalyptus. Great acidity and tannin structure. If you have it you can enjoy it now but it should be showing perfectly for another 5-10 years.

An impenetrable red in colour ,the nose is a heady mix of dark fruits that are amply supported by spicy vanillin oak.

The wine has great balance with layers of spicy dark fruits continuing to show themselves across the palate.

The finish is a great expression of Barossa fruit with silky tannins, the length exceptional.

An oldie but goldie found during a cellar renovation, bought nearly 40years ago and stored in the 2 home cellars I have maintained in those years. The colour is still quite dark cherry red with a bright nose of dark red cherries, plum jam, blackberry compote and touches of cedar and liquorice. The palate evolves with a good decant to reveal complex notes of black and red fruits, all-spice, Christmas cake and finishing lick of truffle and cedar. The spirit is quite fine and a reminder of when this was a sought after prestige line quite uniquely Australian. A beautiful blast from the past.

Dense red- no hint of 30yrs age. Nose astounding with yeasty notes and intense red fruits. In the mouth sublime and balanced. Now until the end of time. Original score- 97.

ED: from GHM's cellar, I suspect a very pleasant and successful evening drove the original points, so I have moderated slightly to match my modern curve!
