Very nice
The oak is not overwhelming but it is supporting the fruit
Long finish, maybe not a great complexity

I had this wine a number of years ago and loved it. I brought it back to the US from Oz!

Freshness doesn't allow you to stop drinking
Maybe it lacks a bit of flesh, but it makes it up with the complexity
Not even close to peak. Long life ahead

BYO night at the restaurant
Good better than the Grange 98 brought from another table, but not even close to the reputation of the vintage or the producer

Big surprise. 98 was a standout vintage down there, too. Gutted like a fish 😒

This is controversial
Most people would have thrown this wine away from the start I guess
Lots of oxidative notes delivered with a sweet citrussy acidity, a kind of line jelly tart
All together a very complex and unseen wine that kidnaps you cerebrally

Past its peak, still complex and kept in a decent balance by the minerality, but it definitely lacks the enjoyment
Not to throw in the sink though
