On the nose, chestnuts, warm black plums, blackberries stewed blue fruits, violets and pepper. The palate, stewed, black plums, plums, blackberries, stewed strawberries, dark cherries, slight tarry quality, roasted chestnuts, pepper, black cherry cola, the core flavor of anise, herbs, dry stems, underbrush, violets, dry dark florals, roasted expresso, dry brown crushed rocks, the acidity drips over the palate, still a little tension, the structure starting to yield, the balance of fruit and earth nearly 50-50. The finish has nice ripe fruit but gives way to slightly dry tannins. Give it another 3-5 years. Should have had a Shiraz given where we are but at the price on the menu, too hard to resist. "The Cut" a good spot for dinner in Sydney. — 9 years ago

I love all Tuesner reds. This one is modestly priced but a delight to imbibe. I had a Tuesner Bilmore on a Qantas flight from London to Sydney two weeks ago, and it was sublime. — 11 years ago

At the Governors Table near the Sydney Opera House - new restaurant - well thought out wine list - not just he usual suspect Australian wines; this south Australia Malbec had spice and hey - but was also smooth - just as the sommelier had stated; a rare find in Sydney — 11 years ago

1994 vintage. On a sailing boat in Sydney Harbour not with the proper glassware. On the nose, fresh black fruits, gentle spices and leather notes. More savoury than sweet. Not obviously a 20+ year old wine. On the palate, mild alcohol and body, good concentration of flavours and soft but noticeable tannins. Elegance with a touch of umph. Very Hill of Grace. The finish was good, but not quite as long as some other vintages I have recently had. This wine was certainly not fully mature. Could age for another 15 years I suspect. Very good. — 10 years ago

A little young. Leave down a tad longer. Lighter body due to Cabernet sav component c. f. Shiraz alone. Dark fruit and light tannins suggested on label - agree; cherry and plumb? Nice mid-body wine. From memory, had the Mt Edelston Henschke at Quay, Sydney, and that was slightly fuller bodied and better rounded. — 12 years ago
