  At 17 years of age this is delightful. Worth every bit of 94 points. Still has fruit, cassis, soft wood, eucalypt and mint in the background, smooth tannins and lingering length. Throwing a bit of sediment but no where near tertiary yet. 94+

  On opening very little nose then 2nd day black olive/menthol/heat/alcohol nose. Tastes surprisingly young for a 13yr old. Strongly fruited with charcoal, green and black olives. Strong fine tuned tannins that need food to tame them , mouthcoating. This needs another 7 years to reach its peak under screwcap. Will be a very long lived wine. Suits strong meaty dishes, nothing delicate. Perhaps a tad mono-dimensional in the fruit profile, better if had more layers of nuance.

  I may have been a little generous with the score last time. At eleven years of age this is still evolving. Impenetrable black in colour with dark red edges, starting to throw a bit of skin in the bottle but showing very little sediment in the glass. Bold fruit, with flavours of chocolate, licorice, coconut and old French oak. Some Coonawarra mint/eucalypt/menthol but not dominating. Full body with lingering length and lovely mouthfeel. I look forward to further bottle development in the years to come. 94+

  Ten years on and this is evolving into an amazing wine. Almost black in colour with dark red edges. A big dollop of fruit, licorice, coconut and old French oak. A hint of Coonawarra mint/eucalypt/menthol. Great body, mouthfeel, length and lingering flavours. There is scope for further improvement with age and I hope I can keep my hands off some of this for at least another 5 years (5 bottles left in the cellar). 95+
