Left a bit too long but still enjoyable. Still youthful appearance, nose of fresh blackberry and violets, segueing to light new leather and graphite. still well structured with pronounced acid and fully integrated tannin. Hints of cigar box and bramble berry on the palate but not a lengthy finish. It went quite well with a 2" T bone cooked over wood coals in the fireplace.

Inviting nose of prunes, leather, tobacco. Medium-full bodied with hints of plums, Lindt milk chocolate on special for $1.96 at Woolworths, red berries, dark fruits and leather melded nicely together, tannins fine and resolved, long finish with a slight spirit touch after a while in glass. In its prime now - lovely, many thanks!

A fantastic treat! Deep purple colour, beautiful smell. Very soft feel and classic shiraz texture in the mouth. Glad I packed two bottles of this away - can't wait to try the other. I have to learn to decant though. Still a fantastic wine.

Yuck. Easy beyond. Actually very interesting. After 3 hrs decanter you could get a sense of what this wine could be.
