Dark and concentrated. Hardcore secondary characteristics at this point. Stewed fruits, cedar, poultry herbs. Glad I didn’t wait any longer.

This is an amazing wine. Aged Aussie, maybe we (I) discounted these too early.

Opaque dark ruby, orange notes in rim. Strong nose of syrupy cherry cola, baking spice, vanilla. Full body: high alcohol (16%!), spicy, losing fruit, med acid, fading rough tannin.

16% alcohol! Super ripe almost jammy note, touch of vanilla on the nose but nothing much on the palate. Loads of fruit but lack of balance. Not my cup of tea unfortunately :(
