  Needs a few hours to open up. Pretty good but won’t last much longer.

  This wine which was god awful in its' youth, has evolved to a very balanced drinkable shiraz.

  Very Good.
  
  Clear, deep, ruby to broad garnet rim, legs.
  Clean, developing nose of earth, damson, plum and vanilla.
  Dry, medium acid, medium persistent firm tannins, medium (+) alcohol, medium body, medium intensity flavours of damson, blackberry and vanilla. Alcohol sticks out a little on the medium (+) length.
  
  Very good, though alcohol sticks out a little. Further developed than I expected, the whole thing seems a little 'over cooked'.
  
  Screwcap.

  Deep crimson red colour, little hue. Aroma of dried oak and musk, bay leaf and herbs. Black fruit, raisin and clove. Pepper, licorce and leather. 14.4% alc but not evident in the aroma. Medium body, strong slightly harsh tannin. Acidic finish. The acidicity disappears after a couple of hours and becomes smoothly and slightly fuller.
