April 2, 2023 - Color in the glass shows nice aging with nice bricking. Nose is polished and refined with plums, blackberries, and oak. Very good acidity still, complex palate with black fruits, menthol, some raisiny notes, leather; the ending is long with chalky tannins and a touch of vanilla on the medium+ ending.
A great aged Shiraz that has still some space to evolve. It was my only bottle but I might buy more honestly. Excellent overall!1 person found this helpful Comment -

Not detectable as an Australian Shiraz. Powerful as you expect but not too jammy. Still good in shape. Maybe a hint too alcoholic, some vanilla and dark cherries aromas. Ethereal. At his peak or just over. 92-931 person found this helpful Comment -

June 6, 2020 - Brick rim, green olives, vanilla, mushrooms, still sweat and rich yet finish dives off a cliff. Green olives overpowering. Past it’s prime, drink up.
