I'd have to say that I haven't seen a marked improvement in this wine with 7 years standing. It's a nice GSM, but it still has an alcohol burn aftertaste and it hasn't undergone a radical transformation in the bottle over that time.

Bra viner från Australien med Lasse Solum - Munskänkarna Tyresö: Ganska stor doft av mörka bär, drottningsylt, lite ceder, kaffe och lakrits. Sötfruktig smak med fina tanniner, medelstram och hyfsad längd. Grenache, Syrah och Mourvedre. Lite för fruktstinn för mig. (SB, 83508, 222kr)

Doftar massivt av mörka mogna bär; körsbär, björnbär, blåbär. Kryddigt av torkade örter och peppar. Choklad, vanilj, jordighet och torkade charkuterier. I munnen är det väldigt mycket mörka söta bär, chokladiga fat och eldig alkohol (16%!!)
Detta är på gränsen till portvin. Lite väl massivt och sötfruktigt men funkade ändå ...i små klunkar då det är extremt svulstigt. Inte min typ av vin riktigt men var ändå lite kul i sin okompromisslöshet.

I found this bottle rather tamed by Aussie standards. With a floral nose and not too sweet blue and red fruits on the palate, with hints of mint. And spice. The finish was a bit short, but overall smooth and enjoyable,

Deep red/black color. Nice nose of cool blue/black fruits and maybe a hint of menthol/eucalyptus. On the palate I found the kind of sun-baked/roasted/stewed red/black fruits that I find to be a signature of Barossa. Mild tannins on the finish. To me the nose was the best aspect of this wine. (87)
Bumping this to 89 on the second night, where it seemed to open up a bit and offer a greater sense of cool, sweet fruit, with less of the sunburned character.
