Spectacular! Thankfully, waited on the last couple bottles. Velvety texture, gobs of flavors, well integrated funk, super long lingering finish and just enough freshness to maintain composure. So worth the wait.

Bought at the Sydney airport in May 2010. This was my first encounter with high-class Australian Syrah-wines; I have earlier stack with the Syrahs from the Northern Rhône valley. The new experience was very positive. The wine was full-bodied, very fruity, very intensive and soft, displaying very nice aromas and flavors of ripe dark fruits and berries. This wine is in a very nice phase at the moment. It was really worth ageing it for almost 10 years.

Still quite vibrant dark purple colour. Nose suggests some depth and the palate confirms with nice layers of dark fruit flavour and some chocolate in there as well - quite closed initially but opened up over time - no rush with this wine maybe another 5 years
