  Very off putting to the nose on opening. Decanted 3 times....a lot of sediment...last thru cheesecloth....end result a light thin looking wine. Delightful to drink....quite smooth and gets better the longer it stayed in the Decanter. Good legs and tannins....

  NobleRottersSydney - Cellar Treasures (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 13.5%} (Graeme) Double-decanted about two hours prior. Scary nose of bacterial, volatile aromas; with a fungal, mushroom note. Very worrying, like a toxic old-world syrah, and smelling way older than 14 years. The palate was much better; intense and savoury, with leathery, cherry-tinged aging fruit. Has a touch of biltong about it. It’s dry, earthy and savoury, medium-bodied, with an even, low-key profile. Medium dusty tannins and medium acid carry the show; it has a medium length finish. The nose is such a let-down that I don’t know what to make of it really; presumably it would have stood a longer decant, and hence cellar time. Hard to call, and although I’m certainly disappointed in this showing, there might be a modicum of hope that things will change with time.

  HWZ wines dinner with some wines from 90's (Asia Grand Restaurant): This was also double decanted for around half an hour at home before brought to the dinner, and it opened nicely during the tasting.
  The colour is not strong but it has a youthful crimson hues, plum and cherry on the nose with hints of vanilla oak and some peppery notes.
  Sweet fruits entry along with cherry , plum and peppery spice. It has fresh acidity, elegant mouthfeel and seamless midpalate. End with long finish and fine tannins.
