Dark fruits and flowers. Had this same wine six months ago and it was a different animal. It's really nice now.

Massive wine, lots of alcohol. Good structure though, ripe tannins and balanced fruit. Many years to go.

Bold and juicy with soft tannins. Has the alcohol burn at the end that reminds you that you are down under

Smooth and opulent. Anise, cedar, vanilla, dark cherries. Mid palate is powerful with rich, dark fruits. Finish is persistent, however some of the 15.6% alcohol does show through.

Has potential but definitely needs more cellar time. The alcohol didn't integrate too well. I see this bad boy hitting it's prime in 5+ yrs

Fantastic with a grass-fed filet. Big, jammy, and smooth. Make sure to aerate properly.

Gift from Mark and Tara. Great with no kids, Indian food, and planning our next wine tasting party.
