Cabernet and friends: A blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon. Plums and green capsicum with a touch of VA lift. There is an immediate metallic note on entry and that sits on top of the wine throughout and mars the wine. Some chocolate and earth notes. The nose more successful than the palate for this one. Probably best for making ragu, drink up.

Medium purple with garnet high light. Black cherry raspberry and cedar. Hints of tobacco and green tomatoes. Palette is similar to nose as the acid and tannins are balanced after decanting. Good for another year or two.

Still very good with a year to go. Big dark and multidimensional. Keep last bottle for a special dinner.

Definitely a big wine... earthy & bombastic but in balance... wow!
