February 12, 2019 - I opend this bottle 30 min. ago.
The filling was good, neck level.
Smell: it was a bit acidic, i smelled strange things, not unpleasant though: first i smell cranberry's, forestfruits, and soft roses, very dominant. Then for some reason strawberry milkshake and a hint of leather, it finishes with dusty tannins. Its very soft.
But still, it has something odd in the nose, some alcohol and close to vingar, but not quite, hard to explain...
It is still drinkable but if you have it, you should drink it now, i dont think its gonna last very long.

October 29, 2017 - Lost track of this one bottle. Purchased it often back in the day. I decided to open it tonight by myself since I didn’t have high hopes for it after 25 years. It’s actually held on quite well with some fruit left and a hint of leather. It was a bit dusty on the nose when first opened, but it blew off after a short time in the glass. Tremendous balance, even though it is over the hill now. I don’t regret letting hang out this long, I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience.

November 13, 2014 - Excellent fill level. Fading garnet color in glass with obvious bricking. Nice bouquet. Good fruit on palate-very robust and Syrah like. Alcohol (14%) does not intrude. Fading but not disjointed. Dusty tannins. No Shiraz sweetness. Probably 5 years past peak but making old bones. Some sludge at bottom of bottle. Drink up!

May 18, 2014 - Properly stored, this wine was smooth as silk, moderate fruit and alcohol (unlike fruit bomb shirazes) and in perfect balance. Subtle complexity. Could last a few more years.

December 26, 2011 - Wow. Tons of fresh medium toned (mclaren vale) shiraz fruit favors. Wine was refreshing and nimble on its feet. Tannins are absent. Mouth feel is juicy and somewhat thin.. Paired really well with a margherita pizza. Drink within 3-5 years.
