Friday, December 9, 2011 - Unlike tonight's companion wine (the 06 Rhys Swan Terrace), this bottle is a sexy beast from the onset. The nose shows copious notes of sweet red and purple fruits, even if they are a bit undifferentiated, with a sweeter, spicier nose than the Swan Terrace. The mouthfeel is more significant, the finish longer, and the wine more delicious today. Nonetheless, it misses a bit of the acid and tannic spine that I suspect will make the Swan Terrace the longer-lived wine. This is rocking right now - a spicy melange with some real in-your-face fruit.
