  A seriously good MV Shiraz!
  Big bold fruit, integrated tannins, lovely mouth feel with a spicy finish.
  Yum!

  Mature, leather, liquorice, pencil, has a “dry dusty road” feel to it, almost Bordeaux-ish, but more power. Drinks very well now, but will hold up another 3-5 years I would have thought

  Blackberries, blueberries, mocha, pencil shavings. Still fresh and sweet-fruited after 20 years under screw cap. Very well balanced for a big, ripe McLaren Vale. Good length and structure. Quality stuff. Improved over the evening - would suggest a decent decant. No rush to drink these. (93 Excellent wine)

  From screw cap, even better than my last bottle tasted in 2021. Had the 2014 and 2004 side by side and the 2004 towered over the 2014. Much ripper, richer, thicker wine. Notes of vanilla, tar blackberries, mocha dominate this fruit bomb. Ready drink but no rush as this monster can hold another 10 to 15 years easy.
