Very quick splash decant. Disturbed a lot of fine sediment. Still quite bright, ruby red. Blackcurrant and some liquorice on the nose, a little dollop of oak as well. Rich and quite clean initially, but tannins building across the mid palate. More blackcurrant before a relatively short finish. Quite a pleasant wine, perhaps needs a little time and air to show its best - not quite up to previous bottles.

Not outstanding but still very pleasant and typical of the blend from this part of Australia. Well made. Will last a while longer I suspect but drinking well now.

Very chunky but with the departing remnants of blueish black fruit. Still enjoyable if you late late stage wine.

Dark fruit nose. Fruity, full, smooth, balanced. Drinking very well now.
