Still has a lot of intense crimson colour, very little fade around the rim. nose a little withdrawn, dry and dusty like an old saddle blanket. Stunning mouthfeel, very full in flavour, with blackcurrant and dark chocolate flavours, hints of coffee. Tannins still evident, giving great structure to a wine that is drinking very well now, but still has a few years in it yet (but probably at its peak right now). Shows the benefit of aging a decent Barossa red.

Drinking really well. Has rounded out and showing a bit of age. Wouldn’t be holding onto the remaining bottles for long as this will be as good as it gets.

Drinking well - fully integrated, sweet fruit on the attack and slightly coarse but balanced tannins. I choose this for the Greek style lemon chicken and it was perfect.

Pretty good; typical big Barossa shiraz.
