Very nice. Opened it because we drank the 2017 at the winery the other day and it was drinking very nicely. The 2916 seems actually more firm still after 6yrs or so in the cellar. great berries, cherry, oak. Some spice. Juicy. — 9 months ago

Wedding yr vintage celebrating corries new career move and new house! So dark it's nearly opaque. Dried rich fruit, some tannins that soften with time. Quite dry. Berries, chocolate, pepper. Needs some time to open up. Not our favourite from 2015 FA. — a year ago
