I'm a bit surprised this is only the 2nd Kilikanoon wine I have ever tried (or at least written notes on). Fruits are mellow for the region, indeed quite elegant, but remember of course this is a 10yr wine and in that context drinking well albeit at the end of its optimal drinking window. Soft prunes and a spike of heat late. Shortish finish. Drink now.

Abundant dark fruit upfront with sweet tobacco, nutmeg, allspice and mocha on the mid-palate, segway into some fig and black pepper on the medium+ finish. Juicy mouthfeel with toasty oak and mild, velvety tannins.

Similar to last time, but even just a tiny bit better. It has aged very well.

Quite settled down since the last time I had it. Lots of garrigue, almonds, black cherries, pepper, smoke, and a sappy medium length finish.
