This wine is still very nice. Don’t let the drink windows fool you. We were lucky to purchase a colleague’s cellar otherwise there’s no way we could have even found this wine available anywhere. Didn’t need a very long time to open. Plum and a hint of prune. Spicy. Slight smoky/tobacco flavor. Soft tannins. Very drinkable in 2023. We are fortunate 2 bottles left! If you know the wine’s providence, it’s all good!

Light, distinctive raisin notes in bouquet with prominent hints of sweet black licorice. Decanted one hour and delicious. Our first tasting of 3 bottles purchased. Love it.

Dark red purple, opaque, some fine gelatinous crumbs. Pleasant Bouquet with a bit of spice, berry, and hints of anise or liquorice. Long finish, medium tannins and lovely strong dark berry flavor. Very nice and a wine you just can’t get in the Us. We were lucky to have purchased a colleague’s complete cellar that was brought back from Australia in the mid 2000s. Glad we have 4 more bottles to enjoy.
