Some very complex, spicy aromas with espresso and licorice, as well as violets, blueberry pastry and blackberries. The palate has a very vibrant feel with some smooth fruit flesh around a core of intense, long and muscular tannin. Ripe dark-plum and licorice flavors. Spicy wrap at the finish. It’s open to some extent, but dense at the core. Drink over the next two decades. Screw cap.

Very deep, bold youthful purple colour; lovely fresh, clean aromas with perfectly ripened black fruit and violet aromas; oak is well in harmony, even at this tender age. The wine is elegant as well as full-bodied, tightly framed and stylish, not at all overripe or over-built. The tannins are generous, savoury and long, finely grained and suave. A very fine wine indeed, elegant and balanced even at this age. Evolution of the style is apparent. (unreleased) 07 OCT 2015 Drink 2019–2046

The star of the Jim Barry show - it plays a different medley. This is superbly honed, brimming with power and depth, full-bodied yet there's a certain refinement too. Astonishing colour, all dark ruby and bright with purple tinges, the tannins velvety and savoury, the finish long. Every detail taken care of and the end result a complete wine. Surprisingly approachable, but built to last a considerable distance.
