Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 41 notes) - hiding notes with no text
Tasted by cweiss on 1/29/2011: Good but not exciting. Has passed the ebullient fruit stage, may need time to develop more complexity. Good stuffing and god balance are there. (254 views)
Tasted by mark_m_owen on 12/24/2010 & rated 90 points: Deep coloured, no sign of bricking, rich cassis and mineral notes on the nose. Full bodied, smoothly integrated in the mouth. Cassis with tobacco/cedar followed by chocolate and faint spicy, almost minty(?) tones. A bit of tannin on the end, perhaps not the length of finish expected but an excellent wine that went well with rich food but also sat well on it's own.

I would disagree that this is on the way down - although this is the first one I have had, there seems to be plenty left holding it together. (368 views)
Tasted by V64 on 11/23/2010 & rated 93 points: Lovely claret flavours, this wine looked very young in the glass. The nose was great but the wine is definitely over its peak and on the way down. Overshadowed by the 98 Bin 707. Lovely classic coonawarra C/S with chocolate and plums still very evident. (712 views)
Tasted by cweiss on 2/7/2010: Very dark. Full of dark cassis, big tannins but not hard, some mint. Very good balance in a very big package. Went well as expected with rack of lamb with mustard glaze. Enjoyable now, but will give another year or so before the next bottle. (1769 views)
Tasted by Alex H on 11/14/2009 & rated 86 points: 98 Aussies Dinner; 11/1/2009-11/30/2009 (Lucas): Mint chocolate, tobacco levaes, cigar smells with cassis. A rusty sharpness and zingyness on taste but overtaken by more tobacco leaves, earthy cigar leaves , dark prunish fruits and rounded by well aged cedar oak presenting nuances of dark roast. Just a tad bit too short on the finish but this is the most distinct and intriguing wine of the bunch. This is a cigar / tobacco beast! A distinguished gentleman in the making and the most bordeaux like. However, for now, I am not really a smoker. (2115 views)
Tasted by Paul S on 11/14/2009 & rated 93 points: Top 1998 Aussies and Others (Lucas, Klapsons Hotel, Singapore): An outstanding Aussie Cab. Not quite as open and voluptuous as the Parker Terra Rossa, but more buried complex and subtlety I thought. Beautiful nose, the most Bordeaux like of the four Aussie wines. Tons of cigar and tobacco leaf notes on the nose, followed by deep plum notes, lovely dark cassis, a little hint of vanilla, some bramble, all wrapped up in a dusty, earthy package with lots of savoury, tatami-like undertones and bits of wood spice. Palate stilled showed some youth. The fresh, juicy acidity had integrated very nicely into the body of the wines, as had the firm but very fine tannins, but there was still a grippiness to it that suggests that it has many years of development ahead. Flavours were just about putting on secondary notes as well - lovely, warm cassis notes were laced with some bramble, some cigar, some cedar, some tea, all in a superbly balanced whole. Nice long finish showed plenty of persistence, with more juicy acidity holding up some great fruit notes, more tea and just that touch of menthol or eucalyptus. Excellent. (2114 views)
