I was in the distinct minority here. Most loved it. I definitely sensed a flaw. Not fully compromised by any means but a little something was off. Great story from the person who brought this about acquiring at a restaurant and bringing back from Australia and a wine I've been anxious to try based on reputation...but I wasn't feeling it.

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.
