Wow. A complex and sophisticated wine that blows me away with its combination of power and finesse. Perfect drinking window. A classic Shiraz worth twice the price. Alas it is my last.

After several of the more recent review I had adjusted my expectations. I have had this cellared since release. I can however understand some the flabby comments as the tannins have receeded almost completly. The nose has a damp forest floor component to it and a note of ripe dark fruits. The forest thing comes though on the palate with pepper and dark berry and a touch of sour cherry. This bottle was realy a nicely aged Shiraz.

Good nose. No longer balanced. Tannins are resolved so the wine has a flabby feeling--it seems past its prime. Had with some lamb chops--did not have the tannin balance the chops. I would recommend drinking up.

loved it, plum and cherry, touch of spice, decanted and at the one hour mark, aroma was in full force.
