This was given to me. I cannot find the vintage date anywhere on the bottle! The first glass was actually quite bitter and I poured it out. I capped the bottle and put in fridge overnight. Next night, I uncapped it and let it breathe in the bottle for about an hour. The remainder of the bottle was excellent! Would definitely buy again, but will definitely decant or let it breathe for a long time.

Got on sale for $3 off so tried it; had tag saying consistently ranked over 90pts by various trade magazines. I didn't think it warrented a 90+ myself; had slight sourness to it and not very fruity compared to other australian shiraz. Generally OK.

Very good for the money. Drank like a wine 2-3 times the price.
