A nice surprise. I was sitting on this bottle for years, son's birth year, and I thought it was probably too old but it was actually great. Olive, floral, lighter bodied. — 7 years ago

For my son's 20th birthday, I think this 19 year old, Australian Cabernet, will be appropriate. It's also going to take care of my Friday's fix nicely...

What a beautiful color on this beauty. Ruby in color with a burgundy rim. Almost showing no age at all.

After an hour in the decanter, fruity nose with blueberries, cherries, strawberries, black currants, leather, oak, vanilla, licorice, light green pepper, smoke and black pepper. Very gentle and aromatic.

Medium plus in body, smooth and elegant, with medium plus acidity and awesome looking legs.

Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, blueberries, cloves, licorice, vanilla, cedar, leather, dirt, pencil lead, earth, cola, white pepper and spices.

A very long finish with very fine grained tannins and tart cherries.

What an awesome wine this is. Well-balanced and very enjoyable by itself. So elegant, complex and velvety.
It smells and tastes a lot like a Napa Cabernet, which surprised me a little.

Aged for 15 months in American oak barrels.

14% alcohol by volume. — 7 years ago

My son's birthday year, so no wonder I'm blown away. Striking, mature aromatic pushing dried cherries and plums, beautifully framed by all integrated oak and that telltale Tuscan Galestro feeling. Long, graceful and utterly impressive peaking now-2020. — 8 years ago

Celebrating my son's '06 birthday (at least his parents were...). Medium weight and lighter side of Brunello, smokey cherry and cedar nose. Taut tobacco and light spice, sour cherry hints. Perfect now, started to give up after 3 hrs so don't wait too much longer. — 9 years ago

Right out of the bottle faint post rain rock, moss, and leather first pour nose showing deep red front-mouth fruit with youthful tannins that will coax your tongue to the roof of your mouth and groovy acid slowing things down letting the moment linger, penetrate, and compliment the amazing meatballs served up by Ben Barker (of Magnolia Grill Durham) at his son's amazing new pizzeria, in Carrboro, NC (do not miss!!)
More on this wine soon, but @13% alcohol and low $s, it's good stuff for sure! — 8 years ago

Perfect if you like'em aged; this is a liquid gas station when the sun sets in a dusty and varm area. Very far from the elegant GG's in Germany but still offers layers of fruit and great length, this show ripeness but also restraint. Beautiful wine. Son's birth year and he liked it too. — 8 years ago

Infanticide I know. But I bought two to put one away. Honeysuckle, white peaches, green apple, spring lemongrass, cold rain over slate. White gold color. Super long finish that coats the teeth. Delicious. Anticipate greatness in 10+ years. My son's 5 year old birthday wine for his mother. — 8 years ago
