This wine was tasting beautifully. Great fruit forward without being jammy. A touch of heat but in balance. Lots of complexity and aging very well. Body was full round and smooth with great soft tannins and excellent depth and finish.

A smokey, jammy nose of ripe blackberry, toasted oak, dried herbs, soy, and pepper. Loads of sweet fruit, but a bit disjointed with too much wood and a hint of oxidation. Pleasant enough, but just starting the slow decline. I'd drink rather than hold.

That this wine was as good as it is gives me greater hope that the GAM vertical I have will be fabulous. This was excellent wine, well balanced, drinkable almost upon opening, with room to improve with age. It's a medium balanced wine with classic tastes. Aging promises subdued intensity but with added complexity. Yum!

Lots of toasty oak, but well integrated, tangy & sweet shiraz, silky mouthfeel, still balanced and structured, could survive longer for sure, subtle spice, camphor

Oakley, jammy, but still structure with tannins. Definitely drink now if you have it.
