Firm, focused and distinctive for its shades of earth, dusky spice and bay leaf, swirling around a chewy core of cedar, menthol and, finally, berry flavors. It finishes strong, but it's not for all tastes. Best after 2004. 300 cases made, 30 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria / Yarra Valley Select to Add

Classy, sexy and certainly ageworthy. Dusty, meaty, peppery aromas lead to a palate rife with dark fruit and substantial oak. Supple in the mouth, with burly black fruit and wheat flour on the finish. Drink through 2012. ——D.T.(11/15/2004)—— 90
