This wine has definitely continued to evolve and is not as enjoyable as it once was. The nose is really nice and complex with cassis, eucalyptus, black licorice, blackberry, and cigar box. But on the palate it seems leaner and I wouldn't guess this as Australia - seems more like a restrained Bordeaux without a lot of fruit.

Intense dark and red berries and beautiful sweet spices in the bouquet. On the palate the same fruits, a lot of good, fresh acidity and round tannin. Still in its early maturity stage. Beautiful wine.

A big, powerful wine now. Nose muted on opening but revealed plenty of blackberry and cassis after decanting. A full mouthfeel with lingering blackberry/dark fruits and a long finish. Not tannic.
Really enjoyable now but plenty of time ahead of it.

Not rating as this bottle had leaked and had some slight ullage issues. Opened it as soon as I noticed the issue and it was still perfectly fine, but surely there was some small impact to the bottle.
