Had this in 2015, why I opened so soon 🤷🏼‍♂️? Rookie mistake. The extra 10 years has made a huge difference. It has the stuffing for another decade at least.

Still not much of a nose to it but pairs well with a good Steak 🥩 — 10 days ago

Blackberry and faint mulberry aromas and flavors, youthful but showing a little complexity already, longish finish, this is very good. This wine just smells/tastes like Margaret River Cabernet (@Bob McDonald, do you understand what I’m saying here?). — 2 months ago

Damian’s favourite, but not all batches feel as strong as the other. Same year though. — 3 months ago

Redfruits, mulberry, blue fruits, very evident this is cool climate Shiraz, great acid balance, medium-long finish, I really love this basic Mount Langhi Ghiran Shiraz cuvée!! — a month ago

Nice combination. Syrah adds some body and smooths the palette. — a month ago

Very nice Aussie Chard. Medium to high acidity. Citrus, floral, slight vanilla. Low on the butter oak scale. — 2 months ago

9.3

Aromatics of black fruits with a touch of menthol (eucalyptus in these parts). Not as herbaceous as the northern part of Margaret River up In Wilyabrup. Oak is noticeable on the palate initially (even at 16 years). One of the few Cab Merlot blends as their top Cuvée (Cullen is another) in preference to straight Cabernet Sauvignon. On the palate ripe black fruits and mulberry. Finishes with fine tannins. HH has a long drinking window on this, up to 2039 which I don’t think many will have the willpower to follow- including me. — 3 months ago
