February 3, 2024 - This is a ery big and fruity wine, decanted 2 hours, some sediment. Nose and palate mainly at the darker end - blackberry predominates, with lovely licorice notes on the finish. Up front and definitely ready to go now. Very good with duck on the first day and on its own on day 2.

January 7, 2024 - Very similar characteristics to April 2021.
Maybe a little more closed, despite 2-3 hours decanting.
Still a lot of primary fruits present nose/palate with raisins, caramel & spice.
I think that it will improve having tasted the 2013 yesterday which is drinking really well.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 18, 2023 - Better than my last bottle opened 3 years ago. Beautiful nose. Tannins were smooth. Oak was well integrated with fruits.

June 4, 2023 - Our last bottle of this beauty. We drank it with our son who was part of the initial purchase of three bottles in 2017 in China. He has also been party to each bottle we have consumed! He is heading back home tomorrow, so we drank it alongside the 2014 Bin 389. The 2015 came out as the winner with greater depth of flavors, a start with red fruit; Cabernet showing itself in the middle; and dark Syrah fruits and spice showing at the end. My rating of this wine has improved with age. This wine is definitely ready now, so open ‘em if you have ‘em!
