  This wine was just great! Still has some darker red fruits, but very well balanced with tobacco and cigar and leather. It's a deeper wine, but the alcohol is in no way overpowering. Really delicious. Drank next to a '98 Johann's Garden and this was the winner.

  A bit of a flier from a WineBid auction. We'd had a 2001 Mt Edelstone a few weeks ago and that was really singing so figured why not. This wine was pretty good. Fruit has mostly faded (first time I've really seen a faded Aussie), but the leather and aged quality are all there. Hints of red currant. A touch of funk. Some mint and eucalyptus. Fun wine to try, although wasn't the biggest crowd pleaser next to an '06 Cali cab.

  Terrific, aged wine
  
  Minty eucalyptus currant and cassis on the nose. Palate showed the same with awesome acidity and soft gritty powdery tannin. Finish went on for a few minutes.
  
  Loved this wine. IMO, drinking 100% in its prime now.

  Cedar and cigar box nose and a reddish, cherry colour. Medium bodied. Serves up exactly what you'd expect of an aged 15y/o Keyneton. It's 3-4 years past peak and sits between the great '96 and '98s but still a delight to drink. Serious value on secondary market.
