At the Downs Club Magnum Dinner. Brief notes. Never been a huge fan of The Menzies. Lacks cassis fruit and often has an astringent finish although this was more mouth filling.

After some travel and euro wines, the Aussie menthol / eucalypt in this jumped out at me. Love it. Earthy, savoury, less red fruited than I remember, ripe but balanced, fine tannin leaving a dry finish. After 3 or 4 hours the leatheriness had developed nicely, my last glass was the best, although not quite the heights of the prior vintage.
