Ripe, rich and generous with its smoky, spicy black cherry and dark plum flavors, lingering impressively on the finely polished finish. Drink now through 2008. 700 cases made.??–HS??Region: Australia / Coonawarra Select to Add

Disappointing, considering its price and the performance of some past vintages. Though the nose offers pleasing pastry crust and plum fruit aromas, fruit on the palate tastes flat, with a slight green-bean note. Finishes dry, with sour plum fruit. Tasted twice.——D.T.(9/1/2004)—— 84
