Opened for about half an hour and then double decanted for half an hour to be consumed 2 hours later.
The wine is deep ruby, full body, good acidity but doesn’t have the complexity expected from a 10 years old $100+ too tiar wine. This is just an okay wine, I’ll hold my last bottle a few more years and see if that help…

Dare I say it, a medium bodied SA wine. Lots of acid balance with lovely fine tannin on tertiary flavours. Prune, black olive, blackcurrant with decent length into my belly...

It pains me to write a bad review about an admirable Barossa producer but I really dont like it. At 7 years old it should be more integrated and a lot less sour. It's outright hostile like a band of enemies in a mad max movie but without charm or any memorable charisma.
If you told me this was a cheap pub wine I'd probably believe you. Not worth of the fancy bottle.
