  Comes across more refined than 1,5 yesrs ago. Heat is gone, more finesse, more structure. This is definitely moving in the right direction.

  First day delivery. 1,5 hr decant. Lingering heat from 14,5 % alcohol. Jammy fruit bomb, but with good structure and aging/ improvement potential. Could take it up with Napa CS 2-3 times the price. Great QPR. Not the pinnacle of sophistication, but certainly everybody’s darling in the next 5-7 years. Will get more.

  Colour: cassis, blackcurrant, mulberry. Juniper berry, nightshade leaf, lavender. Dark, inky. Liquorice, slightly medicinal. Some charred oak. Elderberry.
  Palate: cassis. Lots of ripe blackcurrant, elderberry, blackberry. Juniper berry, nightshade leaf, lavender. Liquorice. Dark, intense. Rich, intense, but elegant. Charred oak. Fresh berry-like acidity; smooth, fine grained tannins, slightly drying. Rich, complex; classic Barossa Cabernet. Long on palate. Really lovely. Full bodied, 14,5% alcohol.
  EDIT - left open overnight, and hadn't changed much. I'd love to see this again in ten years' time; sadly, however, I only had one bottle :-(
