  Smell is sweet and concentrated consists of strawberries, raspberries, ovilevs and wood. However is not intense as typical shiraz from Barossa.
  Elegant distinctive style, medium body, this reminds me much more elegant syrah from Northern Rhone than any shiraz from Southern Australia. It is not oily or fatty either. The only issues are high alcohol so I recomend to chill wine till 17 C. and also some bitterness in aftertaste. Anyway this is elegant, more in European style wine than New World frut bomb. If not too high alcohol I would say "WOW".

  Starting to show its age with a little bricking. Still relatively fruit forward with notes of blackberry, blueberry, pepper, and earth.

  Appearance: deep garnet.
  Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of violet, dark cherry, toast, dark chocolate, black olive, old furniture wood, savoury, cloves. It’s developing.
  Palate: dry, medium plus acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, full body, medium plus flavour intensity, a little bitterness of tannins. The finish is medium plus.
  Overall, it’s a very good wine. Can drink now, has potential for further ageing.
  Complex and tick all the boxes on the nose, but the alcohol is quite hefty for me on the palate. A high quality wine but not my type.

  Less intense than expected. The alcohol is a little stand-out. May need a little decanting.
