Even a bordeaux-freak like I love to indulge in a new world cab now and again. As I am new to cellar tracker, I have spent the day entering my wine into "my cellar". Noticed that the Bin 407 could have reached its peak. I rushed into the cellar, popped the cork and - found a wine which was utterly enjoyable. It has mature aromas of black frut, cassis, some hints of tobacco and the familiar, fresh mint touch which always brings me to Australia. Medium-bodied with spicy dark berry notes, tobacco, tar and dark chocolate. The tannins are still very noticeable and provide a solid backbone. Nice!

5/21/2022 - Mr Laroux Likes this wine:
Soft berries and apple on the palate. Very well integrated tannins. Coming to the end of its life. Drink now.

I think it may have been better if I drank it earlier. Picking through cork pieces is sort of a bummer.
