Wonderful combination of Cabernet and Shiraz grapes. Beautiful length and still showing primary fruit but has developed some secondary bottle characteristics. Has at least a decade of life in it. Really looking forward to having the next bottle.

Wonderful wine, amazing to have a granache at 20 years and still feel that it has more to give. Full bodied great length super fruit. Easily will last another 3 to 5 years but no reason to wait.

Superb Wine, beautifully integrated tannins, lovely fruit and great length. Definitely need a decant but is drinking brilliantly now with at least a decade before it.

I have a few bottles of this but have not yet opened and I'm very interested to hear from anyone who has and what they think of it.
