20 years in, this is sheer brilliance. Still possesses an excellent fruit profile. Herbs and tobacco are beginning to emerge. Lovely structure on the palette. This example will sail on for years to come.

Just brilliant. Huge tobacco nose with no signs of maturity. Deftly balanced on the palette, with a wonderful tannic structure. Cinnamon and maraschino cherries bring up the rear. Clearly, not all Aussies are convicts :0)
