Eucalyptus on fleek. Still quite primary at 20 but shedding some tannin and likely entering a better drinking window.

This has a very cool-climate-feel to it, yet showes a clear Australian footprint. Cassis, grilled pepper, sandalwood, mint, tea tree?, ferrous minerality, resinous oak. Seems more Cab Franc than Sauv at the moment.
Really dig those classic High-End Ozzy Cabs like Penfolds' 707, Moss Wood CS and this one. Appreciate your suggestions in this direction. So, keep them coming..!

A real behemoth at 17. Some nice fruit but still not integrated. A little hot for me. Needs some smooth edges that only time will remedy.

Nice surprise at a recent dinner. Interesting Bdx blend and hits above its pay grade.

Love this wine. Good combination of Bordeaux best red grapes. It comes from Australia. Big rich and lively. If you can find this producer and this wine buy it

Cherrypie, blueberrypancakes, crème de cassis. Also vanilla pods, timber, hints of black pepper and cinnamon. Oaky nose, low acidity, soft and friendly. Very good, not great.
