Mid-red. Quite developed. A gentle wine with mid-bodied slightly stewed red fruits, a tough of earth, and an even, modestly long finish. From my cellar since release, under cork. Decent enough wine. Good value back then for about $17 Aussie a bottle. Questionable if it had cost modern RRP.

I was happy w/ the value of this bottle. That said, it seems to be on the downside, with a more muted nose and slighter body than I imagine that it had in its youth. Gave off a lot of sediment after an hour or so. Palate had slight hints of black olive which went nicely w/ Mexican short ribs.

Drank 8 years beyond its recommended “drink by date of 2014. Decanted for 2 hours before final tasting. Still enjoyable. No noticeable faults.

Decanted with little sediment. Starting to brown around the edges. Nice dark sweet fruit and spice. Just like the label says. Drink up.
