Still drinking very nicely but probably close to the end of the road. Lovely Cabernet blend with soft mouthfeel and still plenty of fruit. Not a lot of acdity and just enough gentle tannin to hold it together. Last of the breed for us, look forward to trying its younge siblings.

I have had 4 of these over the past 8 months. 1 was past its prime, and the other 3 were delicious, though possibly had reached potential. The good 3 were fruit forward (black fruit) with secondary characteristics on back palate. Leather, oak and plum. Quite complex. Minimal tannin left, medium bodied and length varies though possibly has shortened a little with time. Very nice, though wouldn't leave it any longer.

This was a fantastic wine. I thought it may be starting to fade but not the case excellent fruit. I will drink my last few bottles over the next 12 months at special times.

Very heavy sediment, perfect cork. Deep reddish-black colour, light rim. Bq w cedar, smoke, cassis, medicinal herbs, spice. Medium to full body w good acidity, fairly tannic, fruit old (plums?) but still present. Long, slightly alcoholic aftertaste. Still enjoyable, but should be drunk soon.

Very soft and smooth, but lacking fragrance. Cork seemed okay, but just a little less exciting than I thought it would be.

Ruby red. Youthful sweetness with light claret texture. Ripe red fruit with a hint of cedar but with a disappointingly perfunctory finish. Drink up!

Lovely Cabernet blend of great character. Spicy with warm fruit and long finish. Very smooth mouth feel with just a hint of tannin remaining.

Very surprised by how restrained and elegant this was - went down very nicely while watching the fireworks.

Nothing special. Soft tannins. Medium to full bodied, no particular depth of flavour or interest.

Leather and tar. Good length and structure. Ready for drinking now.

NobleRottersSydney - Western Australia (Darling Mills, Glebe): Deep red/purple. Youthful, sweetly fruited wine, with fine balance and surprisingly modest scale. Not complex, drinking well now.
