Drunk with guests, consensus is a 90 which is higher than last bottle. Amazing nose of cinnamon and clove, good length palate with plenty of tannin that cut through our spicy chicken. Drink now.

Purchased from cellar door as 'mature re-release'. Lovely earthy nose. Luscious raspberry/blackberry fruit, maybe lacking a little on the back palate. Drinking beautfully however

Dark purple. Nice nose, earthy, funky. Great front to mid palate, little lacking on the back, but nice in the mouth. Dry black licorice, bit of dry leather & oak, sweet fruit. Drink up as these are perfect.

Nice purple, deep but not opaque. BIt of oaky dried fruit on the nose. Not complex. Rusty earth. Clasic mature D'Arenberg weight/glycerin, nice, Light fruit, strawberries, cherries hit the palte running, wow, fine dry tannins scrap, finish is a big big dried fruit jam mid palte one. lingers then dies. Never hits the throat, but what a nice wine and qpr. Yum factor.

Consistent with previous notes, a cracking drink for the money. Still has time although I couldn't imagine it improving.
