Amazingly a deep dark ruby for its age. Trademark aromas of camphor/menthol. Fine sandy persistent tannins. A full bodied old fashioned Australian Red still going strong at 25 years of age and still with a future. Still fresh, strong and vibrant. Last of a Dozen. Much of the early plummy notes have morphed into something more savoury but the camphor notes remain and compliment the overall result and identity of the wine.

Never would have guessed this wine is 20 year old Cab. Not the fruit bomb I anticipated it to be. Will be interesting to see how it shows 24 hours after it was opened.
