  Excellent! Blackberry, black cherry, plum, aronia jam, oak, and vanilla. Lovely tannins. Still young and lively, and only a hint of reaching maturity. Will keep the other bottles in the cellar for at least another 5 years.

  Wine Bros Australia Deep Dive (Orsay): My first time with this wine. It’s a beautiful one and one that was released when we were buying but my impression is the 100 point rating probably meant this isn’t a wine that will hit peak drinking window in my lifetime. It’s going to be one of those grange that is excellent 50+ years in. Fun to get to try though.

  Pleased we waited a few years.
  Great wine!
  Wine of the the past two nights of Henschke and Penfolds ….just pipped the 2010 Hill of Grace ….but only just!
  Huge dark fruit, lovely texture, tannins nicely integrated and very very long finish with a touch of dryness.

  For me, this is getting into the "too young to drink" category. Chocloately nose mingled w the buttery scents from MLF/oak still v evident. Primary but no heat. Young shiraz notes, reductive and some burnt notes. Too much, needs time to see whether it resolves.
