  This has aged nicely. Still some dark plum/cherry notes but much of the fruit has faded leaving pleasant floral & bbq tertiary notes. Integrated light acid/tannins. I wouldn't hold this too much longer but it's certainly still drinking well.

  My palate's moved away from Australian shiraz a bit over the years, so I've decided to experiment a little with the ones I have left by giving them some age to see if they appeal more, and while I never actually had this one young, I can say that it's pleasantly surprising and quite enjoyable at this stage. Pretty dense coloring still. Aromas of dark and dark red fruits, maple syrup, cedar, anise, tar, and dried spice drawer. Very nice and complex. Medium body, medium(+) acid and finish, and flavors of dark red fruits, orange peel, and black tea. There's no tannic grip whatsoever, but enough acidity to keep it together and alive. Pretty enjoyable I must say.

  Cellar clean-up: This wine was tasty -- good fruit and nice tar on the finish as well -- but these bottles are all long gone. Great QPR for $12 / bottle. Drink now if you have them.

  Good, but not astounding. Mature chocolate flavours, highly enjoyable

  Dark Purple Color With Full Body. Some Spice And Dark Fruit on the nose. Licorice and blueberry on the palate and a spicy finish
