{cork, 13.5%} This vintage at least is a cabernet-shiraz blend. And this bottle has a distinctly volatile, varnishy nose. Composting oak is the primary aromas, not hugely intense. The palate is rather falling apart, although in a nice way; it's a loosely-clumped collection of vague aged blackberry flavours, a touch of spice, stiffened with some medium grainy oak tannins. Finished a bit hollow, and short-medium in length; avoids heat thanks to the sensible alcohol level, but tastes a bit baked all the same. Provenance is unknown; so heat damage can't be ruled out, although it's not hugely distinct if this bottle is suffering from it. On this tasting then, definitely drink up; perfect cellaring might offer a better experience.

NobleRottersSydney - Fosters new releases (Guillaume at Bennelong): {cork, 13.5%, A$45} Cabernet-Shiraz, for what it's worth. This particular label of Jamieson’s Run is new to me; I’ve rather lost track of the Blocks and Reserves released under the brand over the last few years. The aromas here are rich and seamless. Raspberry & coconut fruits mingle with fine cabernet tones on the palate in a wine of mid-full weight, which is presently a little chunky and disjointed, but seems to have all the right stuff for the next few years. An easy winner over [2003] Bin 389, it must be said…

Tasted at Jamieson’s Run Cellar Door: Dark red in appearance I got some earthy and berry tones. Drinkable, but not outstanding.
