Deep purple/red color. Aromas of blackberries, mocha and cherry cola and a touch of eucalyptus. Ripe, full-bodied fruit in the mouth with excellent depth and length. Full but balanced on the palate. An excellent and delicious Shiraz at 12 years of age.

A decent shiraz. Firm tannins and bright acidity through the length. The fruit is powerful, savoury and not overripe. Needs a few more years to settle I think.

Sour cherry, raspberry, wet stone, and a sweet spice finish. Not a fruit bomb, but certainly fruit forward and ready to go. Would have rated a point or 2 more had the nose been more distinctive.
