Wonderfully floral and herby bouquet. Palate is a complex of dark fruits, subtle oak and other-worldliness. A lingering finish. This is a first class down-under claret.
Sadly, only had this one bottle, bought on site during our visit there 10 years ago.

Very tight and youthful on opening. After two hours in the decanter it softens up considerably. Floral/Herbal nose, think somewhere between lavender and thyme. Palate is toasty and this lingers on the finish. Has a long life yet.

Very youthful and tight, holds great promise but not ready yet, I would wait 5+ years. Ended up sourcing more.

More elegant than expected, I’m getting confused with 2009 in Bordeaux !
Classic flavour profile of good claret. Fabulous Very fine tannins.
Good but years of development are a possibility.
14%, cork.
