So-so bottle of wine. Thought this might have some potential, but really no structure or definition. Tasted very average to me, a big bold Cabernet but nothing suggesting the terroir of this region. May be past prime

Dark ruby. Initially reductive, then somewhat shut down and in need of prolonged aeration/swirling to open up. Moccha, kahlua liqueur, dark fig, dark chocolate, cassis and capsicum on the nose alongside sweet spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. Medium to full-bodied, velvety-textured and round with very little heat, medium acidity and good length. At peak.

Sweet blackcurrant with a very sweet core. Good mouthfeel & a fair whack of tannin. Would be better with more secondary tertiary flavour

Very similar to the 8/7/12 bottle.
