Red and Black fruits. Coffee grounds from the oak. Plummy aromas. Not as luscious as many previous Stonewells and 2008 was a ripe and pretty good vintage in the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Finishes with a little astringency. As HH said, a good but not great Stonewell. — 7 months ago

Brief notes. I’ve never rated Cabernet from the Barossa as high as Cab from other SA areas like Coonawarra or McLaren Vale but this Mentor was very good. Very dark in colour with leafy black currant notes. Matured for 18 months in French oak hogsheads the influence from which has been totally absorbed/resolved. Perfect balance. See previous note from February 2020. — a year ago
2008. Plummy and meaty with a little remaining tannin. Paired well with leftover lamb curry. — 4 years ago
Spicy with a good body and nice tannin finish. Lovely blend. Needed some airing but then progressed very quickly. — 5 months ago
Lovely deep ruby colour, with a dark fruits aroma. Smooth and medium bodied with a lovely rounded cherry and blackberry.

Выпито в Точке 28.01.2021 с Н. Тернавским и компанией. Мой любимый австралийский шираз. Вишня - просто бьет в нос. Фантастическое вино. Последнее творение великого винодела Питера Лимана из Барроссы - в следующем 2013 году он умер. Купил и положил ящик 2012 года на закладку. — 4 years ago
