  A glorious wine. Bought a half a dozen plus 5 years ago at $23 a bottle. Great buy. James Halliday says it will improve until 2038 giving the wine a 25 year hold. I think he was right although others disagreed at the time. Winefront says drink by 2021. The wine was delicious. Lots a red fruit, berries and underlying chocolate. Light oak and some tannins adding interest. A rich red wine with cassis and light smokey oak. Really good. Had with rare roasted rack of lamb.

  Absolutely ápoint - still quite sharp but lovely dark fruit accompanies long rich finish. Could have gone a few mote years but tonight was the night and no regrets

  In short, it is everything it says on the back of the bottle. This is Shiraz as example par excellence. I personally thought this is best drunk young, 5 or 6 years. A 2013 in 2021 lacks a bit of acid edge. But the way the black fruit dances on the palate, oh my, all is forgiven.

  I was surprised how sophisticated this wine presented. Here was I drinking superb 2004-7 Brunello’s and I opened this for a younger guest. I thought it displayed excellent taut structure and refinement. Lovely deep dark plum and red currant flavours, a certain savouriness and dark spice. Perhaps lacked a little breadth and complexity but a thoroughly enjoyable and well built wine. I felt teased for a glass despite other offerings.
