Quite dense crimson in colour for its age. Notes of Menthol/Eucalyptus and aniseed typical of Wendouree. A full bodied palate- earthy, berry, mineral with a tarry note. Might be a 19 year old wine but there is so much latent energy and power it will go on for some years yet. I will drink my last one in 2 to 3 years and if I have the willpower should be 4 to 5 years. Will go the distance.

Maybe not a vintage u want to age forever, but texturally this wine is so bloody good
It feels like you drink an important bottle of Bordeaux
Not too big, but juicy, crunchy, long and tempting
To enjoy at its peak have it maximum in the next 5 years I'd say
