  This wine has been spectacular since bottling. It began its life with explosive dark fruits and spice notes. It is now aged into a wonderful balanced wine with delicious fruit, spice, wood, and rose notes from front to back for minutes. It is a much better food wine now. Went perfect with lamb. Years prior it was a wine to drink on its own with high fat or strong cheese to give your palate a rest in-between sips.
  It has evolved from a super sexy hyperenergetic 20 something model into a beautiful elegant 45 year old you want to have dinner with!

  Heavy plum jam gave way to lighter notes after an hour or so. Past its peak, I expect.

  Wonderful wine with a great nose, good structure and very well balanced. Good now but of course still Young and will keep for many years.

  Red Wine Gala Tasting (VC Double Bay): Cherry and redcurrant aromas. Well balanced on the palate, I like the mineral core that the acidity provides and counters the medium plushness fruit. Good length. I don't think this will be a super long term wine but it is good regardless.
