This wine is still holding its own. Down to one bottle left in the cellar - will be sorry to see it go. Decanted for 2 hours prior to drinking and the wine was still opening up. Strong blueberries on the nose which I had not noticed in the past. Alcohol a bit softer than the last bottle.

This was an excellent, jammy Australian Shiraz. I think it is near the peak of its life right now. Full of dark fruit on the nose with hints of vanilla and chocolate. A full finish with lingering hints of cinammon and mint. Of three bottles tried last night, this was the run away favourite.

Had many compliments on this wine at New Years. Not too sweet but nicely acidic - kinda limey.
