This was the star of the show for Thanksgiving dinner. Drank from Magnum, so no signs of decline based on age. Bright red and dark fruit. silky tannins and beautiful long finish. Really looking forward to my 2007.

I drank the youngest Kimberley's in my cellar as it was the only bottle left that I had multiples of. its very youthful and full of life. I now am down to a single bottle vertical of 06, 07 & 09 of Kimberleys and I plan to open them all as such. Where o where shall i do so?

No bacon fat on this one but utterly enjoyable. Hold or drink

I shouldn't be so surprised that this wine was so rocking good. beautiful currants on the nose gave away to musty leaves, forest floor and a touch of brown sugar. This was beautifully elegant and was our WOTN over another Ridge and a Playwright BlackOut. just a beautiful wine, simply amazing.

I think I scored all of them in the mid 70s to mid 80s and found a consistent sweet and acrid coffee/chocolate/charcoal character that I think mars a lot of WA Cabernet. I know they're generally well-received but just not for me. Thanks for commenting!
