Third bottle, This is already evolving in a very positive way. I now think it is better than 2010. My favorite everyday wine. World class wine in my book!

Deep purple, earthy, herbs, black blue fruits, hardly any oak noticeable. Good wine but not as good as 2010 at this stage. More sovoury than 2010. Less concentration than 2010. Perhaps lacks a little ripeness. We will see

Probably one of best value for money even though it costs fair bit more in Australia. Dark crimson with hint of purple rim. Concentrated and strikingly purfumed nose. Earth, lavender, black and blue fruits, hint of oak. On the palate, close to full bodied, rich, fresh, fruity, tones of black and blue fruits, good acidity and drying tanins. Quite dry but not at all harsh. Probably peaks in year or two. I will drink it now for the youthful young gutsy flavour. Very well done. I like it better than 2011 but will see.
