2006 vintage. In remarkably good shape, considering its age. Dark, rich fruits and showing lots of earthy, tertiary notes. Baked blackberry and blueberry, black plum, stale sandalwood, stale cigar box, seemingly Brett-influenced barnyard earthiness (though not in an overwhelming sense), loam or potting soil, dried tarragon. Lots going on, though seems like it has peaked and should be drank soon.

2005 Vintage. This bottle seems a bit old/not stored properly. Brick edges and subdued fruit, but not corked.

Classic deep black and blue fruit barossa nose. Mouth coating, concentrated and rich on the oalate but with decent acidity and structure to give overall balance. Very long, punching well above its weight.

Inky black fruit. Velvety on the palate. Notes of spice lead and graphite wrapped around a gorgeous fruity core
