As good as the last one tasted. Great wine smooth velvety and luscious. Intense colour for a 25 year old wine. All the bits sing from the sheet. One bottle left can't wait. At peak drink sooner rather than later.

As per previous notes this is drinking exceptionally well for age. Still dark with fruit present. Tertiary elements expected in a well cellared wine are present, vanilla, cigar box, forest floor and to round things off very silky tannins. Due to age double decanted 15 mins or so prior drinking. Opened up beautifully in glass, just kept getting better and better even with age this is not a shrinking violet.

3rd bottle tasted and have not been disappointed yet. This wine is a big bundle of joy from the first sniff to the last of the after taste.
Still dark and inky with rim only showing age. Chocolate, dark plum, vanilla, cigar box, forest floor. Velvety fruit and tannins, big lingering after taste. If you could drink silk I imagine this is what it would feel like. At peak but will hold under correct storage.

Dark ruby and still smelling red ripe fruit. Bold and full body but needs a couple hours of decnatat least to open up. Supple and we’ll rounded Shiraz doing well for its 22yo age

This wine is supposed to be past it's best. I don't think so. It is drinking beautifully. Great tertiary flavours tobacco, cigar box, forest floor. You can also add vanilla, hint of pepper, still has incredible depth. Can wait to crack open remaining bottles. I would say at peak. My second bottle first one was just as good.
