Opened on New Year's Day and only a glass was taken from it. Found the bottle two days later and it was singing. Smells of blueberries and cassis with cedar, tar and menthol notes. It is dense and concentrated and extremely youthful. There is a nice savoury edge to the wine and it finishes with a hint of bitter chocolate and some chewy tannins. Needs another decade or two in the cellar.

Decanter Australia and New Zealand Fine Wine Encounter (The Landmark Hotel, London.): Everything about this wine screams excellence. A wonderfully distinctive nose, superb balance and structure and full of rich, lush extract. The finish goes on and on. Packs a punch without knocking you over. 94 - 95
