This bt. was swapped with a Amon-Ra '02 fr an Aussie collecter. My only other experince with Kays was their 1998 Hillside.
I've very high expectation for this wine but was left a little dissapointed. Don't get me wrong, it's V.good but not an "epic wine" that will make my eye-balls poped out and my jaw dropped.
Dark opague purple, very aromatic on the nose (definately not a blockbuster like the Dead Arm/ FoxCreek Rsv), smooth velvety texture, fine tannins, round with no hard edges. Licourice, black olive and ripe blackfruits characters dominated. My only gripe was it's giving away in structure & intensity. The persistency of flavours and the ending were abit lacklustre given the reputation of this wine.
Given how approachable this wine was, I believed it will not last till the cows come home.
