  Old vine Barossan Icon of Biblical Proportions
  Colour deep red garnet , purple black hues ,pink to clear on the rim , very good for 9yo 15/15
  Nose Big aromas of cigar box, dark chocolate, spice, plum pudding, black fruits, black olive, forest floor , iodine ,earthy and leather complex and balanced 29/30
  Palate full bodied big Barossan flavours from the nose black fruits chocolate liquorice velvety yet has firm tannin grip , excellent acidity thoughout the palate , earthy with clean long finish excellent complexity and balance 42/44
  Overall still a pup, going by the colour and primary fruit aromas , interesting to have some secondary elements like leather and earthiness , being under screwcap I would give this another 10+ years 10/11
  Day 2
  Colour no change
  Nose as i filled the glass the room filled with the aromas ,only things missing were black olives and iodine, everything else in perfect balance
  Palate 24 hours has made a world of difference , so smooth and silky 20+ second finish
  overall if zi have it 96 yesterday it's 97 today

  First Wednesday Wine Club (Napoli in Bocca, Haberfield): "Served blind
  Black hued fruits, a little floral note, alcohol warmth, wild ferment, chewy grippy tannins ripe black fruits, sweet spice, young, bold and ripe but in the more savoury spectrum.
  The fruit weight and warmth make me go towards Southern Rhone or Languedoc with a vintage of 2020-2022"
