During a Shiraz tasting dinner with friends. Tasted blind. Nose of red fruit, spices, very European, most guessed Rhone. Nice palate, fresh, good tannins and length. A very positive surprise, good QPR. This also faded quickly, so don't decant and don't store much longer.

Medium ruby. Medium plus aromas of ripe blackcurrant - still with loads of primary fruit. Vanilla and spice with hints of wet rock, dark chocolate and mint. Medium acid, medium plus tannin, full bodied, high alcohol, long length. A very good wine, holding up impressively well at 14 years old. Well integrated and not showing any signs of tiring.

No decant but tasted over a few hours. Medium bodied with berry and spice flavours. Drinking well now and I expect over the next few years.

Closed nose, faint spice and cedar notes. Smooth wine, nice tannin, a bit short though. Will be a 10+ year wine.
