From my fathers underground cellar. Held up very very well for a 26 year old semillon. Cork was good and there was a pop on removal. First smell I could tell it was semillon. Taste also was still semillon but with lots and lots of leather style age. Colour was very dark golden straw.

Found in my fathers underground cellar. Cork broke and there was no “pop” when extracted. Wine had some bubbles and was at the early stage of turning to vinegar. Poured down the sink.

Bottle # 840316: Found this in my fathers underground cellar. A vintage from my wife and I wedding year. Very very slight leakage after taking the cork covering off. Cork came out in one piece with a light pop. Medium to dark ruby red colour with no sediment on pouring. It’s age came through on the nose with little fruit and lots of leather. Initial taste also showed its age, with licorice and dark berries just noticeable with medium length. Certainly past its peak drink by date, but did hold up with the lamb roast.
