Drank at La Luna Melbourne before Covid stopped us, temporarily hopefully.. this wine continues to drink superbly at 40 years of age. Bottle was still in neck superb condition. Having drank several of these against the 1980 reserve version each time i consider this the better wine, despite the reserve being excellent as well. still full bodied, rich and lovely secondary earthy and dark fruit, mulberry flavors with perfect acid and tannin. Nothing beats old Oz Cabernet like Mossy although old YY Dry Red 1 gives it a run.
