Dark purple showing no sign of decay. Piercing purple fruits with a bit of blackberry on the nose. Meat juices with a strong mineral saline streak, mint, eucalyptus, and a finish that features all of the above, especially the salinity. The fruit is very much alive; the wine probably needs another 6-10 years of cellaring and will last another couple of decades. Absolutely delicious.

Still drinking beautifully and perfectly balanced. Not at all over the top as others have suggested, just a great exame of how Aussie shiraz can age well if stored properly. Won't get any better but another 2-3 years left before the wine declines

Typical McLaren Vale Shiraz. A bit too powerful for my taste. There is not enough tannin to balance the intense (yes jammy) fruit. I know some people love this style - just not me. My last bottle, and to be honest I won't miss it.

Very dark purple, hard to see through. Rubbing alcohol on the nose with a bit of black fruits underneath. Black fruits with a pleasant blackberry finish that carries into the finish, which is by far the tastiest part of this wine. Fairly nondescript, but pleasant.
