  One of the best wines I have had this year. At 17 years after bottling this wine has excellent colour great nose, full bodied mouth feel and great length
  I am not sure how long it will last but it has a long time to go. As I only have the one bottle I am sorry that I opened it so soon.

  Jan 2016: Violet color. Full body. Despite the age a bit to the tannic side. Lots of pepper too. Finish a bit disappointing. Actually benefits from decanting. Will try the same vintage in a year or two again.
  
  August 2017: Same impression as 2016. Green pepper, black cherry, blackberry, leather. Well balanced. Long peppery finish but short on complexity.

  Dark cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla pod. On the palate, it is silky smooth and mellow. Lovely drop!

  Drinking this on the deck with Nardine and Matt enjoying every mouthful wonderfully balanced though lighter than anticipated lots of dark berry fruits and c urrents with lovely approachable tannins
