2/6/23, 3:18 PM - Yeah if you have a few I’d open one up and try. Apart from anything else, it’ll give you an idea of what it is like at the beginning of its journey. It’s a great wine - we opened some other Cabernets from around the world which all had a few more years on them, and this was almost unanimously preferred. I decanted for about two hours.
3/22/22, 9:40 PM - That really is a great review. Nothing to add and agree 100%. What a great wine.
1/26/22, 12:59 AM - Do it - it’s pretty amazing. I only decanted an hour and then drunk over three but it never really felt closed.
1/6/22, 9:20 PM - Ha at $400+ in Australia it was my one and only bottle. I must admit I’ve had too many wines now where opinion has been that bottles will be better in the future, only to enjoy them more in youth. I’m more and more of the view to drink now with no regrets. What an experience. Glad you’ve got a few more bottles to see if age does improve this wine even further!
10/13/21, 1:54 AM - Yep did decant for an hour or two, and drunk over two more, but honestly another few hours decant would have done it some good. It was amazing having such a memorable wine on such a special occasion, but I’d honestly hold off for at least another five years if I had another bottle to allow the wine to soften further and develop some further complexity. It will be stunning.
7/21/21, 2:27 AM - Recent release. It was still good but not up with the quality of more recent vintages.
6/26/21, 11:30 PM - Love that last paragraph. So true! They love their $10 Aldo wine and I’m pleased for them.
9/7/20, 1:52 AM - I was out at the cellar door on Saturday too. It is quite some wine! Got three for the cellar.
7/21/20, 4:15 AM - Sorry Mark, realised I never responded. I decanted a few hours then drank over a following two to three.
5/5/20, 2:31 AM - Is it worth drinking now, or better to hold?
11/30/19, 1:31 AM - Great note. You wrote all the things I was thinking!
10/27/19, 11:57 PM - Hey I’m glad yours was good! Thanks for the feedback - it’s always good to hear someone else’s experiences. Something was definitely off then with mine. It’s was part of a Cabernet tasting we did, about half Bordeaux and half new world. It was certainly the least of the wines.
10/4/19, 7:24 PM - Which producers are your favourites?
9/20/19, 6:56 PM - It might have come around by day 60!
8/29/18, 4:56 AM - No, this was the only one. But given the price of this in Australia, I was highly disappointed!
10/1/13, 2:39 AM - I reckon it's got at least another ten years in it - cork permitting (noting that my experience has been that the corks used have not been high quality or reliable). For me, it's in a pretty perfect place right now though. I still like fruit to be dominant with the secondary flavours being exactly that.
6/19/13, 3:17 PM - I gave it 3 or 4 hours and it was pretty approachable by then. This was almost my perfect syrah taste wise. Every sip was fantastic.
5/7/13, 12:39 AM - It's such a great wine - so Barossan and yet not. I read a review recently that said it was porty, but this definitely wasn't. It was really light on its feet.I got three - one to drink and two to keep!
