Nice wine! Doesn't seem like a nine year old. Very youthful and still lots of fruit. Will last for many more years yet. Beautiful drinking now but I wish I had another bottle to taste again in 5 years. Not a lot really in the secondary flavours yet. Everything was nicely balanced, if I had to pick a flaw I would say that maybe just a touch hot on the alcohol. However I was sad to see the end of the bottle. Just kept getting better and better over the 4-5 hours that I drank it over.

Delicious. Wine is perfect for drinking now. Medium to full bodied. Beautiful mouth feel and good finish. Very enjoyable. Exactly what I was hoping for/expecting from this Barossa shiraz.

Very nice wine! Carries the 15% alcohol very well. Beautifully perfumed wine and amazing to drink. Only draw back was that after a few hours of decanting it seemed to lose its fruit and a very strong menthol scent and taste completely took over.
