15% abv, magnum Bit minty, vibrant nose with very ripe black fruit. Very herbal and medicinal. Very herbal palate. Big, full, powerful stuff. It's a very interesting wine, for sure, but I find the alcohol level a bit too dominant, and the overall style is not really appealing to me. I wonder if it really needs a bit more time?

Full, sweet, soft, rich - yet structured. It is entering maturity, yet still dominated by the rich primary fruit in the somewhat drier style, that is significant for this domaine. Tannins are integrated. Drink or hold.

Nice bouquet of deep plums, blueberries, ripe fruits, fruits cake, hints of spice and subtle oak. Meaty character on palate, along with sweet fruits, blackberries and fruits cake. Supple, balance and elegant in a medium bodied frame. Nice lingering finish with fine tannins.

Much better than I had feared - not at all past it but tannins all resolved , proper high end Australian Shiraz with a long finish.
