Serious stunner tight minty chocolate and cherry mixed with graphite and cedar. Utterly delicious.

1999 vintage - drinking well but showing a little age - Have always thought this maker was under-rated (& under-priced) for the quality - a good wine

Typical Bowen Estate still showing lovely black current fruit and sweet dusty Coonawarra tannin. Not the greatest vintage of Bowen with only modest length of palate but still lovely Saturday evening drinking.

Full bodied without being overwhelming. Bright flavor. Was great with a steak and full meal.
