  Braeside vineyard Fleurieu Peninsula SA.
  Salomon also owns a vineyard in Austria and trips back and forth.
  Light pepper, slight oak,hint of yeast on the nose.
  On the tongue, slight tannin,slightly astringent/acid, medium fruit .
  Suggests it will last another 10 years ,but.
  The cork, I hate corks, and this showed me why.
  At this point there is a 20% show on the length of the cork and that 10 years may well be a bridge too far.
  i would suggest drinking in the next 5 years and just checking that show on the cork.
  I certainly will , and shall post an update in a month to let you know if it is holding .
  
  revisited 13th August 2018
  
  Cork about 20% show not bad considering
  I smelt a meaty smell on the nose that did not register previously
  Grip at the front slightly acidic
  Tannins soft
  Colour dark/medium bodied
  Drinking very well I give it another point to 94
