Nothing special, but an OK wine. Nose is not impressive, a bit weak but hints of a few black berries. Tasting is OK but doubtful if it will improve a lot in the bottle, but give it a chance in 2011-12.

Not impressed, seems like it still has to stay in the bottle for quite a few years to mature - if it ever will. Not your typical CS from Australia, feels like it is missing some flavours and tannins, which you would expect from a CS-based wine.

Not recommendable - perhaps too old. Almost a sour feeling to it...
