  Traditionally shiraz-y, but not so bold as a Barossa shiraz. Nicely restrained, with a touch of eucalyptus. Very nice and holding up very well.

  Ruby red, just a hint of fading on the rim at this point. Nose full of ripe black fruit notes – red plum and ripe blackberry - with a hint of leather and dustiness. Flavour, integration and structure are excellent – yes, it is powerful, but in a very harmonious well-balanced way. Combines fruit ripeness with a fine oak-driven backbone, and a touch of eucalyptus on the finish. It might get better, but it does feel like this is a wine being drunk at its absolute peak. One of the very best red wines I have enjoyed this year.

  This wine is holding up really well still red fruited and no evidence of over ripe fruit.

  This was interesting. Upon first opening and decanting, it was humming and I was raving about the wine. Fast forward 3.5 hours and it had dulled significantly, the last glass was flat and bland. I’ve got one more, and won’t be decanting.
