Wow, it is aging at a glacial pace. Cork closure. Potent dark chocolate, blueberry and touch of herbs and asphalt in the finish . Chewy but bittersweet tannin. Not sure if it will evolve further but it’s certainly not on decline. Not exactly my style but good with bbq wings.

Ultra ripe black plums, cassis, olives, red bell peppers with strong minerals and earthy notes. Palate is very spicy, filled with black berries, earth and Indian spices from entry to finish. Rich, with some acidity in the mid-palate. Finish is lingering, a touch of tannins to round off the structure.
Tasted again in Feb 2019, notes remain unchanged. Overall still on a more reserved and structured style of Barossa Shiraz. The undertones of cedary oak emerged in the aftertaste. At its peak now and will last for another decade.

Dark, blackberry fruit. Jammy but firm with a focused finish.
3/5
