No decanting, just poured this wine straight from the bottle. The back label says: “Made from fruit grown on mature vines at our Mudge vineyard.” A deep strawberry red core with a terracotta rim. The eucalyptus and slightly alcoholic nose shows cinnamon and, with some swirling, a touch of green pepper. The palate is soft, slightly acidic with dusty tannins and an acceptable length for a wine of this price. From memory, I enjoyed my last bottle more, which was about two years ago. I feel that the fruit has started to fade. Drink up, if you have any bottles left.
