Not your typical shiraz... At 21 years, this wine is still drinking beautifully. Deep color with minimal signs of aging. the balance is really nice at this with just enough tannin to keep everything structured. Good acidity, white pepper, long full finish. No hurry to drink but not going to improve. Impressive

Five years since the last bottle. Still a bit harsh, though not as much as last time. Can't really see this improving, though it doesn't seem in danger of going away.

Tasting. Ripe, dense fruit aromas. Similarly lush on palate with fat and slightly off centered character. I'd give this a few more years to shed more baby fat.

Still a bit green and harsh. Will give the next bottle a few more years to develop.
