I was disappointed in that it didn't live up to its hype. Decent fruit but the balance is wrong. Maybe bottle time will help with this, so I will wait a few months before opening another.

Australian wines at Crystalwines (Singapore): Similar to the Isolation Shiraz this is a rather fresh, Northern Rhone style of Shiraz. Dark fruit with good acidity. Perhaps just a touch thin on the mid palate.

Dark nearly opaque purple-black in glass, surprisingly muted aromas of black cherry and tarry earth. Aromas carry to palate, with notes of black earth, wild berries and meat juice, in a surprisingly balanced, highly extracted and well-executed cuvee. Not jammy or cloying in any way, and leaves with a medium+, tannic finish.

drinking well. Balance issues seem to have been resolved through bottle aging. Raspberry fruit dominant.
