  Average deposit, mostly loose, some on the bottle. Deep red.
  Spicy, complex nose with some bottle complexity. Still fresh.
  Red plum and related ripe fruit flavours. Good weight though a little short. Some St. Joseph lifted aromatics. Mature but will perhaps evolve a little further and hold for a few years.

  Wonderful spicey, forest floor complexity on the nose. I keep going back and back and it doesn’t fade.
  Flows through to the palate. Rich, ripe Shiraz, but Rhone ripeness, not overblown Aussie ripeness. 13.5 alc. Black fruits refined by viognier and French oak and terroir. Beautifully complex aromas and flavours continue to emerge and build. There are much bigger Shiraz wines but few bring this wonderful endless and building complexity. 9 years in the bottle is a factor, but it’s the entree.
  Many years l like this ahead of it.

  Black and blue berry juice. Very smooth. Oak still a tad too present for my taste.

  Developing black fruit nose. Developing a lovely lift. Nicely developing palate. Plenty of acid and tannin for it to age. Good though not great length.
  Day 2 not showing more devt. But opened up in the glass. A lovely wine.

  Restrained but still good weight and flavour. Well structured. Now - 2020
