About 90m of air. Intense blackcurrant aromas, with patience you can also find cherry, toffee, and hints of florality and pepper. Creamy texture, full-bodied, with intense blackcurrant flavors on entry. Rigid tannins and tartness emerge in the mid-palate and remain through the finish. Definitely improved with some time in glass, growing significantly less rigid, so I would advise either a longer decant or serve at room temperature, rather than just out of cellar.

Big, big tannin structure. A bit of oak influence, but not overstepped at all. A touch of green pepper. This may need a bit of time to even out.

Dark black red with dark red hue..
Cassis fruit, Tobacco and cedar oak, anice and mint with spice and black olives...
Needs time for the tannins to integrate, having said that it'll never be a stand out for mine..

Coonawarra Roadshow (Ivy, George Street, Sydney): ripe black fruit compote and cedar. Quite drying tannins close all down very quickly and leave the mouth weary.
