Robe très sombre, profonde, un peu trouble. A peine évoluée. Le nez est superbe, épices, notes chaudes, fruits noirs un peu compotés, une note de fumée, cuir, cèdre. Très sexy ! La sensualité se retrouve en bouche, le vin est rond, carressant, plein, mais avec une trame très fraiche. Une petit pointe de chaleur avec le réchauffement, mais cela reste une gourmandise. Prêt à boire à mon sens, sans se presser.

Muted aromas of earth, some leather, cloves, vanilla, blackcurrants and blackberries. Quite old fashioned on the medium bodied chunky and lightly austere palate which still has a whack of oak, a textured mouthfeel, nice freshness. Has good acidity on the medium length lightly tannic finish. Drink up.

This bottle was actually showing some age, maybe a storage issue as it was from a local retailer. No vibrancy to the fruit. I guess a declining Aussie. Plenty of fruit for 2002 its just pretty monolithic. Cant see any reason to buy or hold these really. 03/04 are much better.
