Ahhh, patience has its just rewards! This big boy has aged into balance with the strong fruit and alcohol edges meshing in with the terroir and barrel influence. Blindfolded, I would not guess that this is a Shiraz. Tis a fine red now, at its peak. I think it will hold there for a while but not improve.

Excellent Australian Shiraz. Deep dark colors with aromas of blueberry, raspberry and a touch of coffee. This is full-bodied with medium tannins and flavors of blackberry, marionberry with some vanilla and cedar spice. The finish is fantastic and lengthy!

Day 1 A bomb of fruit, ripen strawberries with a subtle oak touch. Full body with a long finish. Too much for what I was expecting. I truly believe that this wine van use a few more years to settle down the wine.
Day 2 More settle ...it kept 92 points.

the full monty. Great wham of black and blue fruit, bacon, chocolate, mocha and smoke galore upon opening. Seems to mellow out too quickly after a couple of hours which was a little disappointing
