Bought at the winery after tasting in 1999, my first pilgrimage to Coonawarra. Opened very stinky but blew off with air over 30 mins to beautiful fragrant nose and that sweet soft tannin of an aged Coonawarra Cabernet. Drank gloriously over the next two hours. Still full of life at 29 years old. — 23 days ago

Killed me in blind tasting. So tight and with fine tannins, thought it was a CS. Amazing wine, so refined — a month ago
