Nice to share some 08's out of Magnum with John's son Tom. Great example of seeing how John's wines age. The mix of dark berry fruits soften beautifully & allow the blue fruits share the stage equally. Tom thank you for sharing.

This did not go where I had hoped. Has become less structured and sweeter-fruited. Man, did I guess wrong on this.

Love that savory component that Barossa wines turn out with a few years in bottle, after the overt fruit and fruitcake spiciness mellows a bit. Right on the money.

After a few sips, I no longer cared for this wine. Lots if sugar up front and high acidity after made me feel a little sick! My husband lives it though! Weird!
