  Drank over 5 hrs in the decanter. Holding up fantastically well for its RRP and 11yr age, dull violet with a ruby hue. Less stereotypical Australian cabernet characteristics are obvious, such as mint and cigar, but they are secondary to faded big full Barossan aged black fruits. Quite drying and savoury, a little chewy perhaps which masks/extends the finish to medium. Don't over think this one, drink now. I have enjoyed this, but think I prefer this label young or 'fresh'

  Rich, but less ripe for an aussie. Very nice juice.

  Excellent aged Cabernet. Can't see it getting any better than now, but should hold for a few years.

  In sampling over 2 nights this was not at all what I expected from an Aussie Cabernet, fruit flavors were locked tight and couldn't seem to escape even after 30 hours! Came back to it on night 4 and the butterfly had finally hatched...sweet black fruit flavors suddenly present and a fuller more interesting personality had emerged. However, all said, I typically wouldn't want to wait four days to begin enjoying a bottle purchased more for spontaneous consumption than years of aging in the cellar.

  Drank with co-workers, pop-n-pour. At first very harsh and infantile. With about 30 min of air, this started to sing. What started as harsh black and blue fruit, with scorching alcohol turned into a lovely blueberry pie flavored wine that drank extremely well! I could have sworn this was a Cab Franc, as the Franc blueberry flavors were at the forefront. I was initially disappointed with this bottle, but given the wines evolution over an hour, wow...definitely a wine to keep an eye on as a 5-year cellar candidate. Wish I had more...
