Dark garnet with brick red faded hues. Initial nose show some nutty notes along with earth, wood spice and faded fruits with just a touch of cherry. It Slowly open up after 2-3 hours to reveal more plum and dark cherry with hints of vanilla oak. Supple and mellow on palate, it exhibits blackcurrant, dark plum, dark cherry with a touch of leather and earth. Good length with balance acidity, some spicy aftertaste and soft drying tannins. Simple and forward but it can provide some drinking pleasure to me. Still holding but will not improve any further.

Still drinking well. A nice fruit filled nose. On the palate the fruits are showing nicely and the tannins have receded. Still some pepper showing through.

Visits to Most of the Cellar Doors in Coonawarra; 7/21/2012-9/8/2013 (Coonawarra): Soy and black bean sauces. Ultra complex. Mostly tertiary characters, yet ultra fresh - no oxidative notes. Lovely.
