This wine is still alive and well. You can cellar it for another 5 years without any worries. It will get better actually as it is still has lot of tannins on the front. The next day after glass pour and cork back in the next day it worked out all the issues and sweetness and earthiness came to the front. Beautiful texture and structure. Good finish.

This superb Grenache continues to mellow out, yet provides intense dark fruit (blackberry, cerise, black raspberry) flavors. Additional tastes of smoke, meat, earth and leather. A superb Aussie gem! Incredible price point @$28/btl from WTSO 3 years ago. Ready to drink with little aeration, and likely near it's peak, although remaining bottles could possibly surprise a bit more in a year or two.

Last of my 09' Blewitt Springs and probably the best. Beautifully integrated tannins deep black fruits and chocolate with a hint of smoke. Decanted for about 45 minutes. Wish'd I'd bought a few more when WTSO was offering but still have a few of the 09' Kangarilla bottlings to look forward to. This is really at a nice peak now but has room to run.

Coming along really nicely now. Tannins are nearly fully resolved and flavors are really starting to shine. Nice medium to strong nose with hints of sugar plums (maybe just Christmas talking?) In any case, really great at this price. Glad I've got one more to try in another couple years. www. vincrush.com

Still drinking really well. Sadly my last bottle. But any you might have should go for another 2-3 years without too much issue.
