2003 The Standish Wine Company Shiraz The Standish

Shiraz

overkloud Likes this wine: 96 points

May 23, 2014 - It is ruby in the core and a bit brick-ish in the rim. Smells amazingly with black currant, raisin, coconut, cigar box and dark chocolate. Very full bodied, smooth. 20-30s finish. A well polished Aussie Shiraz that I cannot find any flaw in it and it is in the prime drinking window.

thanks

I tried the left-over 1/5 the next day, refrigerate stored. Both the structure and aroma faded away significantly so I can see issue you were having.
