Gamy, leathery aromas don’t quite hide this wine’s sweet cherry nuances. In the mouth, the leather, tobacco, cigar box and oak notes are prominent, but some nice plum, berry and cherry come through in medium- bodied style. There’s good acidity and some firm tannins that need to soften. Enjoy from 2003 through 2006.——W.E.(9/1/2001)—— 88

Ripe and generous, a rich mouthful of blackberry, currant, plum and anise flavors that linger on the juicy finish. Picks up a hint of char at the end. Best from 2003 through 2008. 300 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria / King Valley Select to Add
