Transparent pink ruby in glass. Funky reductive nose on opening (screwcap) which thankfullyblew-off after a good 30 minute aeration (including vigorously shaking the half-filled bottle!).
After a good 2-hours, the wine is now breathing and singing: sweet ashy blood orange, red berries, funky wood spice and black earth. Bright acid, tall airy structure, optimistic teenager. Aromatic, white peppers on finish, with forest floor and savoury mushrooms. Excellent stuff and will probably be stunning in a decade.

Bright clear ruby in glass. Leafy perfume, sour cherries, soft wood spice. Long lingering aromatics and savoury finish. Easy drinking!

The Great 2019 Easter Marathon!; 4/17/2019-4/26/2019 (Sydney): Sour cherry. Floral strawberries. Savoury. Soft acidity. Confected. Sweet Red fruit. Orange peel. Excellent, but not up to 2006 alongside!
