Disappointing. Standard for a NZ SB. Not really any added complexity which I was hoping for in what seemed like a *slightly* more premium bottle. Still very well balanced and delicious, just wasn’t particularly impressed by this one.

Very good. Definitely factoring price into this as it was only $21 for the bottle. Nose of blackberry, black plum, mint, tar, leather, and smoke.
Similar on the palate but added earth and tobacco. Maybe some black pepper too. Medium mature tannins, full body, enough acidity.
Still a nice ruby color but inching toward garnet. Still has some time for sure.
