Awesome wine. Soft and silky tannin's. Cherry and blueberry. Not a fruit bomb but and excellent wine. Glad I have one more bottle which I'll save for 2015.

I can't believe this wine is still going. My 11 of 12. Cork in good shape. Color inky with clearing towards the edge. Perfumy when first opened - was concerned. With 20 mins in the glass, it was fine. Classic berry, cherry, still a little spice, and a decent finish. I have one left...hmm....wonder if I should wait a year and see how it does. Please comment if you have an opinion.

For a Shiraz from down under, under cork from a mass distributor, I am impressed it lasted this long. Parker would be surprised! Very smooth and silky, with blackberries a touch of kirsch and powdery tannins that are fully resolved and a touch of white pepper.. Easy to swallow, doesn't stay open forever. Good that it made it through 11+ years. The wine was almost to the top of the cork. I am glad I rediscovered this bidding $12 gem.

This wine has lasted very well under cork. Smooth, berry flavours, and just a hint of pepper.
