  Opened to celebrate a jolly outcome in some litigation for a very deserving client. I have a fondness for the Lindeman's Coonawarra trio.
  
  The wine is almost inky and the colour is still red with only the slightest hint of brick. Perhaps not surprising as this was a stellar Coonawarra year.
  
  The nose and palate deliver a plush, rich South Australian style red. It has the clean acid lift you get from Coonawarra, along with the richness of a ripe year. There is plenty of oak in this mix, both in terms of flavour and especially of texture - but it works; the texture is deep, a little creamy and finishes with firm but fine tannins.
  
  The flavours are black currant, ripe plum, a hint of cedar, some spicy and sweet oak that sits just below the layers of fruit. It is good stuff! Long finish, great intensity. This might be a wine made from the Bordeaux varieties but it is a thousand miles from Bordeaux in style. If you don't like the rich South Australian styles, even though this has a bit more freshness and is not baked like many, stay away. For me, there is a place for the style and when I am in the mood then this is good.
  
  Scored as 'Excellent' on the CT scale, under screw cap, note made day 2, no decant.

  I was pleasantly surprised by this. A decent Bordeaux blend out of Coonawarra that stands up to the history of Pyrus and the Trio.

  Developing nose with medium+ intensity aromas of blackberries, plums, truffle, black olives cedar and vanilla. The wine is dry with a medium+ acidity. It has high ripe rounded tannins and high alcohol. It is full-bodied with medium+ flavour intensity. The finish is long.
  
  It is a very good quality wine with a very interesting nose and a nice structure. It shows a good overall balance too.
