Seafood and Riesling supper (My place, world square, sydney): Jammy red and black fruit - plums and prunes - that is like boiled sweets with chocolate and vanilla oak and butter and cream on the nose. In the mouth the wine has medium plus acid (or is that the alcohol?) fine and smooth tannins, concentrated, jammy and, perhaps, slightly burnt black fruits - plums and prunes again - plain chocolate and coffee, medium plus length. Big, bolshy, brash and, it's own way, beautiful...

Colour: Deep ruby Nose: Cream, vanilla, blackberry, leather/sweet tobacco, rhubarb and slight biscuit notes. Mouth: Medium plus acid, blackberry, rhubarb, cream, vanilla but dry and savoury. Generous medium plus alcohol that intrudes on the long, fruity and rich finish. Over time chocolate beings to become evident.

Medium bodied, but full flavoured. Plum and subtle Am oak. Easily the best of the range.
