  Tannic brute. The fruit has faded somewhat, but there are some secondary smoke and meat notes to make it interesting. Probably waited too long on this. It went very well with BBQ pork ribs, but impossible to drink by itself.

  Definitely improved with a decant.
  Smooth, yet firm tannins, meaty, providing a long finish with ample spice notes and subtle dark dried fruit flavors.

  Still drinking well. Full bodied pleasant and not over the top Oz wine. Average finish.

  This Shiraz somehow buried itself in the back of my offsite storage so just now opening a bottle. Classic dark purple in the glass and with 60 minutes of rest in the decanter it delivered a rich nose of dark fruit, pepper & spice, and a herbaceous back-note. On the palate - classic Clare Valley plums & prunes with lovely smoke & spice and a intriguing mineral note that is hard to describe. This is a big wine but nicely integrated and delivering a long Shiraz finish. Bring on the beef! Drink & enjoy now and over the next 2 years if you have it.

  Gave it about 60 minutes of air. New world shiraz. Inky purple. Full bodied deep dark wine. Bold, not overly complex, but pleasant. Long finish.
