Bought this wine in 2007; drank one then cellared this bottle for 6 years. Aging definitely improved it. Soft on the front, then exploded mid-palate. Outstanding long finish. Dark fruit, leather & earth.

This wine is dark ruby, heavy bouquet of earth. Limited fruitiness, more earth and tar with a hint of dark fruit and pepper. Graphite on the finish which lingers. Medium tannins. Refined, as it should be, coming from this vintner/negociant. Great example of the terrior. Very fine example of Northern Rhone French Syrah...

This is a typical Australian Shiraz. Fruity - dark cherry, plumb and plum. Nice soft tannins. The finish lingers and delivers hint of tar and earth.
