Based on this bottle, probably should had drank a few years ago, still enough fruit to enjoy. Black and blue fruit, alcohol is noticeable, some harshness on the finish. Again, based on this bottle (my last) I would drink sooner than later!

Decanted 1.5 hours, cellared since 3/2013, last tasted in 2016.
A typically rich, dark, jammy Aussie Shiraz, smooth with hints of chocolate, coffee, pepper followed by a long smooth finish. Paired nicely with cast iron seared marinated hanger steak. Should hold for several more years in a proper environment!

Brilliant and bright Shiraz, full of fruit, medium acid, long finish, chocolate, berry, dried fruit, a little earth and underlying oak. Loved this wine and will probably get better over the next couple of years.
