  Onion nose - which is distracting. Dry lighter body.

  Deep purple with red rim. Pleasant Leathery musky aroma. Medium body with short finish. Coarse taste with minimal fruit, underlying tannin and a bit of alcohol burn. Not a bad wine but a bit past its best.

  Rich nose and immediately attractive when opened. Good colour - slight browning at rim. Excellent 1h after decanting - pure blackcurrant on nose and palate but velvety with fully integrated tannins. No eucalyptus on nose or palate at first.
  With time, the wine developed tremendously in the glass. Great legs! The fruit character developed and the second glass still showed blackcurrant at first but this evolved into big cherry, tarry, smoky complexity. Eucalyptus later but subtle.
  With a rare aged ribeye steak, the wine was lovely - it softened and grew further in complexity.
  A lovely, classy bottle. Not yet losing its fine qualities. I wish we had more!

  (a winter's eve slow roast with Mich&Bo and Newan) Quiet nose, which opens up with time to reveal musky vegetal notes, tomato stem, toasted bell pepper, dark plums, faded cassis. The taste is a tad empty, overshadowed by structural puckery tannins amidst fractured impressions of floral and licorice sweetness, bitter smoke, dark spices, cedar, cigarbox, and again green stems and mushrooms. Short finish, ending on some ferrous notes and characteristic Coonawarra eucalypts. Quite a different personality from my previous bottle.
