Unlike me this is ageing at a glacial pace. This 1996 was vibrant, energetic, and powerful, wood still present but integrating, balsamic, dark red fruit, leather, spice. Brought by a good friend. Very special wine.

Elegant, tannin & oak present in the front, rounds out on the palate afterwards, bit of an abrupt finish, not sure it's a $250 wine by Australian standards. I can't imagine it lasting too much longer, I think 20 years will start to pull it up.
