Tasted Febuary 2008 (Recommended)
When drunk over the first night I thought this wine was looking tired but the fruit really hit its straps 24 hours later. Lots of fresh berry and black currant across the nose and palate and surprisingly powerful given the age. Low oak impact and tannins are soft throughout but they get a touch powdery on the finish. Look to drink over 2008 - 2010.
Tasted October 2005 (Recommended)
Medium crimson red, lighter in colour than expected. Nose is very subtle with faint berry fruits. Much better in the mouth, ageing very nicely with classy pepper / capsicum / leaf (not under-ripe) and well backed with sweet black currents. An elegant wine in many respects but going well at 7yrs. Drink over 2005 - 2008.
