Wow!A nicely developed aussi shiraz.Very dark red,not showing any obvious signs of age in the glass.The nose is nicely savoury,showing funky hints,cooked vegetables,menthol and dark fruit.On the palate resolving tannins,soft and mellow but still vibrant secondarys likewise the nose and dark fruit.Good balance.We all know that aussi wines don´t mature like french wines but this one was really great in its genre.

A bit past peak but still showing fruit and vanilla notes. Tannins fully integrated. Would drink up.

Nice fruity nose, and interesting and complex flavors initially. After breathing a while, the prune flavors dominated.

Good not great. Loved the depth but not a ton of flavor. Sediment, sediment, sediment. Caveat - I like racy shiraz and this wasn't one.
