March 14, 2019 - 15% alcohol; medium to heavy foil, real cork; imported by Kysela Pére [should be Père!] et fils, Winchester, VA; long legs, very dark red; nose is forward, alcohol & cherries like the earth has never seen (or tasted!); tasted at room temperature (24 degrees C); opened, ventured & tasted 1/2 hour afterwards; hasn't aged very well, or simply too long; bitterness has crept in, tannins still sharp, finish not good, not rated

October 16, 2015 - Decanted 1 hr, last bottle of six, nice ending, more subtle that I was expecting, with restrained blackberry, dark cherry, currants, vanilla, spice and just a hint of earth. This bottle was quite well balanced and reasonably dry by Aussie standards. Drink over the next few years!
