An amazing raspberry bomb. 20 years aged, but still packed a big Aussie punch.

Stunning bottle from Wizer's fine wines. Will have to see if they have any more left!

Dark rich red color. Doesn't show age in look. Only a hint of browning. Many more years possible.

Chocolate Rosemary cherry. Incredible fruits. Sexy beast. Lindt color. Grahm cracker spice. Beautiful aromas

Texture is ultra smooth. Strong fruit. Tannins are gone but the wine isn't tasting old. Maybe hint of sweetness in the really pretty fruit. Would like to visit in 20 more years.

Very long lingering finish. Like a dry dessert wine.

Wine of the night. Pure hedonism. Cherry jam, mocha, pull and peel twizzlers.

Not even beginning to brown. Sexy aromatics. Like licking the perfume off a lover's neck. Blackberry pie nose and overwhelming richness on palate. Beyond amazing. Very full bodied.

Awesome. Confected red cherries, cocoa, spicy. This was absolutely awesome. Perhaps one of the best Aussie wines I've tasted!

This wine has peaked but is a healthy senior citizen Obvious sweet black fruit. The tannins and oak have faded in the background making this soft and luscious without any hard edges.
