It was a back to the future wine. I reckon the first dozen I ever bought was Bin 128 in the 80’s at $4 a bottle. Back then it had a cheap and cheerful reputation and this influenced my decisions to avoid it for decades especially as its price spiralled. I have to say we really enjoyed this wine tonight.

Decanted for a few hours, very elegant and easy drinking, fruity on the nose, minimal acid, medium finish, some oak, very well balanced and went down brilliantly with cheese and crackers.

This is in a great place right now, rich and liquorice, hint of coffee, gentle vanilla from the oak, lovely long finish.
