What a difference time makes. Nicely balanced typical Victorian Shiraz. Great length. Wish I had another bottle. Drinking perfectly now but has at least 3+years in it

Nose is ethanol, slight petrol fumes but in the background there's a hint of leather. In the glass it's dark but ruby around the edge. Tastes of black pepper and licorice, then falls immediately flat. Should fare well with BBQ.

Late night cellar raid. Not at all classic Heathcote but not bad in the context of $15 (indeed hard to get any Heathcote wine at this price anywhere). This might even be touch young; some astringency drives some unyielding tightness that does dominate the modest red berry fruits. To be fair needs another 12 - 18 months.

Nice colour, ruby hue which to me indicates early drinking. Nice nose, with subtle fruit driver with ripe plumy notes.....little to no tannin. Very smooth easy drinker....similar to nose with plumy stone fruit notes, (very) little spice and with light tannins....makes for a very easy drinking wine. Great value...so recommended for those on a budget...
...stay thirsty

Fräsch och inte för tung shiraz med mogen frukt och viss syra. Dricks nu och blir bra som mängdvin till grillat i sommar. Enkelt och rätt ok.
