Still very drinkable and approachable. A good value wine at the price bracket that gives you a pleasant cool climate Shiraz experience - spice, white pepper, a generous amount of fruit and good acidity, all wrapped up in nice layer of espresso.
Drink now or 4+ years.

Medium thin watery rim. Deep and shiny ruby color. Aged nose of smoke and cooked black cherries, blueberries and salt and very refined alcohol. 14% is showing on the palate, not overwhelming, but you taste it. Very soft and gentle beginning on the palate growing to a compact and focused medium body with beautifully ripe blue fruits coated in beewax. Polished, seamless, long. Still super fresh and lively. Very good.

Huge on the nose and strong spicy shiraz with still many years ahead. JH claims drink by 2018, can easily last 5 more years. Day 2 not as good however so enjoy the bottle on day 1.
