This wine sees 24 months new American Oak. This is apparent on the nose, where vanilla features prominently. However, there's a lot of dark plummy fruit lurking behind. There's also some lovely mocha, cloves and a hint of cinnamon.

The palate is soft and mouthfilling, with developed fruits and a wave of milk chocolate. There's moderate supporting tannins, and it finishes long and full.

Possibly at it's peak and unlikely to develop further.

Sounds very nice Allan, but I am surprised to hear that it might not develop any furthur, good vintage, old vines, and all that. I'm sure that there is a bottle of '95 Aberfeldy in Sydney; it's been in a back room for the past five years so probably needs drinking.
