  Still good, deep purple, hint of chocolate and coffee on the nose, nice fully bodied wine.

  Quite a full, herbal nose with some tar and liquorice. Smooth (and became very smooth after 24 hours) with pleasant tannins down the sides of the tongue, and a tannic finish showing a little heat (15abv). 85-86pts.

  It took a while to open up, but there were some nice sharp tones of berries and spice. Ageing well, but could still use some more time.

  Deep cherry red colour. Nose of concentrated red fruit, some coffee and chocolate. Nuances of menthol and spices. Medium length. Nice aged shiraz.

  Coming out of the bottle, this wine showed a dark, ruby body trailing to garnet on the edges. There was a bit of sediment showing and it was fully opaque. An exciting start to be sure. On the nose, the perfume wasn’t immediately giving itself away but as time progressed a wonderful aroma of plums and prunes presented along with hints of dark chocolate. It was now this wine fully had my attention. In the mouth, the additional bottle aging had softened the tannins further showing a wonderfully elegance to this dark, brooding brute. It showed a good amount of plums and oak over a spiced, signature shiraz finish. One things I really enjoyed was the restraint that was put into this wine; no over-extracted, over-oaked fruit bomb here. I would recommend decanting this 2003 for at least 1 hour before service and as far as food, the standard red wine pairings apply here of grilled red meats etc.
