Cork, decanted for on hour. Lots of primary fruit with lovely tertiary flavours drinking very well now and will do so for the next 3 to 5 years. showing chocolate cedar forest floor and dried and cooked red and black fruit characteristics drinking well now, but primary fruit will begin to diminish in the next three or so years. A & V

I thought this was an outstanding wine. Very deep and dark in colour and intense in flavour with strong leather and tobacco tones. While 9 years old, and an impressive wine now, this could easily be put away for a few more years.

This is a big, bold, big, Shiraz. 2013 and it still tastes young. Deep colour, and intense on the nose and palate. Very full flavour, exceedingly generous, but not excessive oak. I imagine not a style for everybody, but a great example of bold McLaren Vale (Blewitt Springs) Shiraz. Clearly has further cellaring potential too.

A vibrant and deep purple colour. The nose is fresh with intense cassis and blackberry fruits mixing it up with some tar and menthol. It is rich and creamy, with layers of flavour and good freshness to the long finish. Still very youthful.

Plenty of fruit, a bit of jam, Licorice, medium bodied, going down well.
