  July 1, 2020 - Interestingly much much better in comparison to the previous bottle.
  Sitted up for a full day prior to pouring.
  Colour: agreed but still dark colour for its age
  Nose: Nice sweet plum almost resemble Shiraz nose, some earthy notes
  Palate: Nice big juicy, Shiraz prominent, smooth, some earthy but not overpowering or too dry. Full of fruit, tannin still showing slightly. Very nice. This is what I remembered 138 to be.
  Drink up.

  Palate: some dry dark chocolate tone, earthy with some tobacco. Interestingly, not as nice as I remembered it. Fruit still there but seems to have last it's peak. A bit disappointing.
  Second day a bit better but not by much.

  February 15, 2020 - Past it’s best now but still a very nice drop. Gentle decant only. Drink after 10-15mins as it drops away pretty fast.

  February 23, 2019 - Very enjoyable wine. prob past its prime now, but still good to see some age and it holds up well. A little bit lean on mid palete, this is due to age and lack of acid carrying the weight thru. Don’t wait any longer, climb into it!
