2016 Clonakilla Shiraz O'Riada
11/18/2023 - Matt@5453 Likes this wine: 90 Points
Lovely aromats with trademark cool climate spices and white pepper.
The palate is medium weight but is a bit lean on fruit, the lovely nose does not really translate to the palate. Some cloves, raspberry, red fruited, menthol with mild oak treatment, but it finishes a touch flat.

2013 Wendouree Shiraz Mataro
7/16/2023 - Matt@5453 Likes this wine: 95 Points
It is really starting to hit its straps now and has opened up beautifully. Lovely concentrated fruits, spice notes from the Mataro. Very balanced wine, with the slight hint of tannin with superb length on the finish. An excellent bottle.
It requires a good decant, it has a very heavy sediment/crust.

2013 Clonakilla Shiraz O'Riada

This has evolved a bit since the last time I tried it.
Just starting to show some aged characteristics and just starting to get some brown tinges on the edge of the glass.
Still has its trademark spice, red fruits etc. A lovely drink with a bit of tannic grip still on the long finish.
Definitely needs a decant given the amount of sediment.
