I’m back… and yes I drank my last btle ever. I thought it was good this time last year, and I’m here to tell you it’s on point now. For those who are cellaring, crack a btle - you won’t be disappointed. Enjoy

Important: disregard the last notes made in 2017. Unfortunately for them they tried that wine when it was in its second lull fermentation period.. Fast forward to 2022,… sexy 2008 aged, classic Barossa business that I’m glad I’ve held onto. For those who are cellaring, I highly recommend you drink a btle if you like it with very well integrated aged fruit, silk tannins & a length to die for! (Within a 2hr window & after a 1/2hr Decant) For those who are thinking of leaving it, good luck it will be a dirty cigar box, dry your palate & really you’ll get no pleasure - unless you like that sort of thing…
Looking forward to consuming the other 2 btles this year.

Red berry, meaty, smokey notes. Smooth palate, loads of spice (and sediment). Probably a little past its best.

Nice. Bit young but starting to develop nicely.
