  The deep purple appearance belies its age. Closer inspection does reveal some limited fading and a watery hue.
  Loaded up with blueberries and blackberries, along with liquorice. In additional there are some herbal aspects. Clove and smoky oak. Still fresh and primary on the nose.
  A spicy medium bodied palate brings more aged qualities as it's quite savoury and earthy.Tannins have resolved to an extent, while still holding the structure in place. The acidity provides a liveliness that nicely balances the aged notes. On the finish, some alcoholic warmth appears, while in general it does tend to fade away a little too quickly than ideal.
  Now a snooth,soft ready to drink wine that will perhaps hold for a little while longer.

  An ol’ cool climate Shiraz charmer. Colour fades by degrees, brick rim to pale red to a darker centre.
  
  Hi-toned nose. Spray of pepper, light spice, marinated strawberry and later hints of tar. Quite lovely but suggesting it’s moved into its twilight years.
  
  The still juicy palate leans to the lighter end of medium bodied. Retains enough savoury red/dark cherry fruit and tarry/spice to offset the drying tannins. Caught on the cusp of drying out into a lipstick (John Hiatt) sunset.
  
  It was as just what I wanted and expected, although it would have been better a few years ago - but I just couldn’t find it amidst the shambles of my cellar. Don’t wait, drink. PS good value for AUD25 or so.

  Found in the cellar for a mid week quaffer, was not expecting a great deal and sadly it lived up to my expectations. Not showing its age, still relatively fresh. Medium bodied, some red fruits and thats about it.

  Bright red, too much oak on nose initially, subset later, some red and black fruit, smooth tannin and good length. Better than last time.
