Followed a 2013 Herman Story, central cali syrah; going from tar and bacon to cherry and chocolate. Rich, smooth, and tasty, with no sign of fading. Some wines just come to life with age. PNP. Amazing price point.

My last bottle from a half-case purchased back in 2011. This continues to drink very nicely. Maybe slightly past its peak now - showing less fruit, but still quite elegant and complex for a Barossa Shiraz. Displays excellent depth and focus on the mid-palate. Deftly balanced, with a vibrant acidity and attractive notes of caramel, vanilla and spice on the long, polished finish. Delicious. 90+ 50+5+12+16+7=90

Bought this in 2010 for $11 when I worked at a Nola restaurant. Thought it would be cool to see how it aged. 6 years later and wow. Drinks like a Pax Syrah from Obsidian ridge or even a Lewis Syrah. Lush, soft tannins and milk chocolate

Beautiful matured Shiraz. A bit bright but mainly balanced fruit and spice. Palate is black cherry cassis with cedar. I wish I had a lot more.
