October 12, 2022 - Amazing Aussie shiraz at age 20. The hype was that these "fruit bombs" wouldn't age well. That's not the case. This wine is still dark garnet and opaque. The aromas are black fruits, pronounced, and complex. The flavors still show bright and lively fruit, with a long aftertaste and the tannins mostly resolved. Bravo to Sarah Marquis. The people who said these "smashmouth" wines wouldn't last should taste this now. It certainly has stood the test of time!

August 31, 2022 - Tasted five times previously since 2013, thought it was at its peak each time. Wonderful shiraz still at its peak, still purple-garnet and opaque, still tastes similar to when it was released. Typical Sarah Marquis style, dark shiraz aromas, very concentrated flavors. Hot, especially on the very long aftertaste. May last a few more years, but perfect now.

August 5, 2020 - 18 yrs old, WA 99pts. Mint and eucalyptus on the nose. Aged nose with some pruniness on the berry fruit. Great balance and lingering finish. We had it with grilled lamb leg kebobs.....beautiful!!!
