Annual Boys Trip away - this time to Cairns. My contribution to the BYO Dinner at an Indian Restaurant. No formal notes but these are so long living even at 13 years, and first of 6, this is considered as young. Plums and herbs. One of my favourite Penfolds Cuvées because of its lack of new oak - 90% fruit driven. Excellent with a long future. — 4 years ago

Thanks Jamie. This was an Annual trip to watch the Bledisloe Cup Rugby between Australia and NZ in Sydney Melbourne or Auckland. Can’t go to any of these places currently so went to Cairns for the Cairns Cup horse racing, wining and dining and a cruise in a sloop on Sunday morning. Brilliant weather.

Annual boys trip away. This time to Cairns. Brief notes. Possibly the WOTN. Just medium weight. With aromas of antique shop chest of drawers, old books. Wonderful persistence of flavour. Won’t get better but a very good showing from a lesser year. — 4 years ago

Wow!

It was really nice. Given the vintage, it wasn't super-surprising but a pleasant confirmation of the property's qualities/pedigree/performance.

Very nice - especially considering that it was the fourth of the evening and followed a French 1er Cru Clos de Vougeot. ABV 12. Ontario's Prince Edward Country. Nice balance, plus some fruit. With Gordon, Chris, Gail. — 10 years ago
