  Holding up well, fruit dissipating,tannins integrating well and low acidity. Nice smooth Barossa. The 2009 was a better bottle.

  Deep Black Opaque in colour with a deep riby rim at April 2019. excellent for age.
  On opening we have leaping out of the glass super ripe prunes, plumbs, chocolate and iodine shiraz fruit characters with that lovely old vine Barossa complexity which everyone loves, oak is now well integrated and Just starting to show some bottle maturity too as you would except. excellent v/good from this hot dry year.
  On the palate we have nice sweet fruit up front , medium maturing bodied mid palate richness and nice softening tannins now with this age. Well balanced acid here even with 15% alc . v/nice effort. Was Expensive when released , but better price now at Auction QPR $50 v/good. Ready to enjoy with rare beef for certain ...

  Dark garnet, long tears with no stain. Dark fruits and cherries on the nose with oak and mulling spices. Cherries, blueberries and forest fruits on palate. Damp earth is as complex as it gets. Great velvety structure with a long finish.
