  It took sometime to open up and show those more complex aromas but there were lovely notes of violets, chocolate and ripe blackberries with a soy sauce savoriness. The palate was simply huge which is now showing layer upon layer of flavours even though it’s just a big big wine with plush fruit and toasty vanilla oak. Perfect for that second wine of the night. Still quite youthful, more time in the cellar will morph in something a bit more elegant. It’s definitely got 10 yrs left in it.

  Nice wine. Needs plenty of air. The next day was better. Still plenty of life.

  Finally this wine is starting to show its true form. It is well balanced. Showing black currants and mulberries with underlying cocoa on the nose. Previous tastings the wine had been very sweet fruited and a bit one dimensional. Now the oak and fruit have found great symmetry and it has a great dusty, long finish. Drinking in 'my' window now, but has the potential to last at least another 2-5 years.

  Deep intense mulberry and blue berry flavours with vanilla and chocolate characters. Dusty oak and a fresh acidity gave structure and freshness for the wine. Wine still has a very long life ahead of it although it is opening up to reveal itself

  Good Cabernet that just continued to open up over two hrs. Intense blue berry and mulberry with vanilla and tobacco oak characters on the palate. Long life ahead of it still
