Hmm. Screwcap. Different mix of the 5 noble grapes. Younger, softer, more refined the last night's 2005 monster. Medium weight plum red colour. Vanilla, tabbaco, dark berry nose. Soft blackberries, tannins start early and take over, though fine. Starting to become unbalanced.

Lovely wine, sent over in a case from Aus a few years back by a friend, plums blackberry chocolate lanolin, all nicely integrated and spot on acidity, would give many a premier cru class Bordeaux a run for their money, sadly only the one bottle.

Deep red in colour, the nose has wonderful aromatics of plum, chocolate and mint, with the vanillin quality of new oak adding to, rather than detracting from the experience.
The wine has excellent complexity that is centered around plum and blackberry, and enhanced along the way by subtle olive, licorice and leather characters.
The finish lingers with dark berries and mint and is sure to flourish over the next 5 – 10 years in the cellar.
