Typical of Drew's style. A hint of diesel on the nose. Fine tannin. Near end of the road however. A great wine. I am honored to have been able to get these direct from Drew upon trips to OZ. he sales at in two weekends to winery and emails. An Aussie icon

WTDS at Capital Grille (Mpls, MN): Very dark purple red color. PNP, drank 1 glass over an hour. Loads of eucalyptus on the nose with blackberry cobbler, cassis, a little plum, and slome tarry character. The palate is dense and supple, eucalyptus, blackberry cobbler, tar, nice silky tannins, and persistent finish. Nicely balanced, and would be even better if the dominant eucalyptus would subside a fair bit 91+pts..

Offering a lot of everything the 2004 Noon Cabernet Reserve is still balanced and provides an array of deep mature dark fruit, menthol, luxurious oak, lillies and black currant. The palate is massive but nicely integrated with a lovely acidity. Quite an impressive effort from a master producer!

Dark, mostly opaque. Unusual aroma, acetic, sweet, prominent mint. Nice cabernet flavors, at its peak and nicely balanced.

Way too much alcohol heat - something not right with this one. Totally undrinkable, so tipped down the sink.
