  • Not the most impressive one and definitely less than I was expecting. No complexity but reasonable length and depth. Wouldn’t rush back to buy it again

  • Screwcap, 14% alc., Dark, glossy crimson red.

    Blackberry, smoke, savoury wet gravel, with some band-aid and barnyard overtones.

    The brettiness doesn’t seem to hurt the wine on the palate, rather it complements the savoury fruit. Despite being 12 years old, the wine retains a firm structure with quite forceful, grainy tannins. A ferrous note builds with breathing.

    Opinion: Certainly not fruity, the wine is savoury and structured, but well composed. The bretty character dissipates with air. The wine looks better on day 3 than day 1, so give it plenty of air. It wouldn’t surprise me if this wine continues to develop and drink well for the next 15 years. However I intend to drink over the next 6.

  • Restrained nose, flint, charcoal, chocolate, purple fruit.
    Became more fruity dominant with airing time
    palate: medium weight, blueberry, chocolate
    finish: long, slightly tannic, choc-mint
    In a balanced drinking spot with primary and secondary but can see an upside to leave it for another 2-3 years
    Excellent MR shiraz

  • Heaps enjoyable but I'm really struggling to describe or even score this, which is unusual. Savoury meaty beefy blueberry and blackberry. Pepper, liquorice, iodine in there too. A little grainy tannin, balance fine. Either in transition, perhaps to something as special as in its youth, but different, or a couple of years past its best... I think likely the latter, but truly could be the former, especially as it didn't budge or deteriorate over five hours today... I simply don't know!
