No formal notes but remains one of the value Dry Reds in Australia I believe - from Seppelts vast resources (Treasury Wine Estates). Red cherry and Red berries on nose and palate with earthy spicy nuances. Very easy to drink and would be accepted by all. Only $17.99 per bottle and I have 1 left.

14 years under screwcap and this hasn't really changed that much. Integrated yes. More interesting? Probably no. Great bang for your buck and a stand out "Cellar Defender".

Ripe fruit. Swish oak. Quality tannin. Extended length. Plums and cloves, peppers, black berry and black cherry. Quite elegant.

Savoury fine tannins, mixed black/red fruits over time ended up being very peppery having lost some of its earlier elegance

2013 vintage and ready to rock! Wet stone, spice, full mouth feel. Southern Rhoneesque. Chalambar rarely fails to impress. Beautiful expression of central Victorian red. Happiness in a glass.

Number 3 bottle from a six pack bought 14 years ago. One of my go to cellaring bargains. Simply gorgeous, in its prime with so much richness and spice with a velvety background on the nose. Loved it!
