Flat savory nose, leathery all spice, big rounded palate holding some over ripe cherry fruits and a long finish with nicely drying tannin. Much better with a meal I'd have thought rather than my thursday quaffer.
Long and short of it is that although it's nice and round it's kind of non descript in all of its characters.
Halliday 88 in its day. 7.5 from me. $25 that could have been better spent.
I'd drink another bottle if I had one bit wouldn't go shopping for one. I'd be interested to see a current vintage though.
