A fabulously aged cabernet that is drinking beautifully now. Obvious smoky/savoury/bacon bone characters on the nose that carry on to the palate.

Mature red hues with an aged leafy cabernet bouquet and a well-aged palate but it is still showing a freshness and intensity of primary fruit flavours.

A very mature complex wine that would be great with food! Just starting to dry out but there is still some fruit left.

Very attractive complex bouquet with powerful bottle age notes. Warming palate, rich with sweet berry flavours and quite strong tannin complexity. Long lingering finish.

Dry floral fragrances; a complexity of truffles, cigar box and some red fruits. Lovely palate, still has some primary fruit with a third tier of flavours.

Ripe, aged and restrained bouquet. Some dried floral fragrances and a tight and complex palate with sweet cassis fruit and great acidity.

Mature chocolaty/coffee/caramel nose and very sweet raisined-like flavours with good level of spirit.

Excellent honeyed age obvious on the nose with a nice dash of cinnamon and clove like characters. Big, rich and toasty in the mouth with a lovely flavour profile.

A vibrant powerful riesling that’s at its peak. Unctuous honeyed nose and developed flavours. Incredible for a 14-year old.

“Fabulous vibrant aged wine”, enthused one judge. “It’s layered and complex”. Pistachio-like nuttiness on the nose with a melange of fig, toast and sautéed mushroom-like flavours.

Dense fruit driven nose and luscious, somewhat porty palate. “Looks like a 3 year-old wine!”

“Great dinner party wine”, suggested a judge. “A controversial curio”, suggested another. Almost like a semi- aged sweet fortified. Has great flavour and freshness.
