I bought a 6-pack of these on release and had almost forgotten that I had them - though as soon as the lamb started roasting my mind turned to them. Tonight's bottle was gentle and fruity, the tannins softened but the curranty fruit still in youthful form, aromas and flavours of red capsicum clear but attractive. Oak is kind of shy, but that's the kind of boy I am. It has some time ahead of it, but probably won't get a lot better from here. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Drink: 2006-2013. 91 points.
