Tasting Notes and Australia and Yarra Valley and Variety and Red and cabernet et al
This is the red blend, and the wine has a very short name, which should make Gary happy.
An alluring nose of red currants and creamy oak. The palate is polished with red fruits, nettles, streaky acid, mocha and maybe some old coffee beans. The tannins are silky smooth, the length is good and there is a hint of char on the finish. With time, the palate flexed its muscles and I was wrestling some supple sexy savoury fruits - just the ticket for watching the Australian Open final. I don’t think I’ll be keeping this wine long term as I fear it might dry out; it tends to drink well young and that’s the way, uh-huh, I like it, uh-huh.

Gents,
Try a 2004 as well. Very perfumed - violets, red berries, touches of nicely handled oak, the palate following on with smooth, supple tannins, sweet red berry flavours and some nice acidity to hold it in balance. Thoroughly enjoyed this after a ‘99 Medoc which was pleasant, though very tannic. Five more in the cellar and will enjoy them over the next 10-15.
