Leather and herbs on the nose, but on the palate the wine kept unfolding with air to reveal black current, minerals, blackberry. Great complexity and a long finish. Delicious.

Mature red fruited flavours framed by developed leathery, earthy and herbal notes on a polished, medium weight frame. There's a sense of restraint and nice balance, though it's not particularly interesting or distinctive.

Clear ruby in colour, bricking a little at the rim but the flavour profile is still quite primary with lots of bright plum and red fruited notes, touches of eucalyptus and earth with the ripe fruit, tannins and fresh acids making it feel far younger than its 19 years. I'll try and hold my other bottle a while longer.

Washed-out color but a jammy scent. Same story on the palate, pruney and tired at the same time. R.I.P.
