Decanted 45 minutes. Cake icing nose, black fruit, mature, dark, ripe but not heavy. Quite good, but not life-changing. McLaren Vale fruit will always lack the texture of Barossa Valley, and this is a good example. Still drinking OK, should last for a couple more years, but no reason to hold.

Garnet,deep. Nose of eucalyptus, blackberry. Over time the Eucalyptus melded into the background. Taste was mouthfilling, rich, mint and blackberry, as the nose promised. Very good.

Smooth wine with some tannins in reserve. Long lasting after taste that was pleasant.
