  Four years later, I'm still drinking in the heavenly realms. Only now, with a settled brilliance that was never in doubt.
  
  There's lashings of plum, blueberry, blackberry, new leather, campfire, juniper, spearmint, cardamon, five spice, campari, and white pepper that herald in a palate of the highest Barossa Shiraz order. Powerful, eternal, exquisitely balanced, wonderously layered. Every sip is just:
  
  pure joy.
  
  This is the best of the Barossa. A thirty year keeper. A big anniversary treat slurge. And a Wozza 97.

  Dark, vibrant purple, almost black core. Intense, concentrated blackberry and cherry notes, spices and iron.
  Silky, viscous, immediately floods the mouth with tight, intense, focused and perfectly ripened fruit. A very forceful wine, but nothing is overdone at all. Just sublime, seamless, incredible length. Ultra fine tannins provide for a long, savoury finish and a perfect foil to the impossibly concentrated fruit.
  For me, as good as it gets with Barossa. World class fruit combined with world class wimenaking!

  My first time looking at a Standish wine and all I can say is, believe the hype. Drank over 3 nights and it was pure enjoyment from start to finish. Decanted for around 8 hours.

  One of the most blueberried wines I have had. Blueberry pie! Licorice, something like black cherry, herbs, Barossa earth, spice. It’s big without being heavy - the acid is almost minerally. The length is outrageous! So good, so complete. Could go 96. Will age but it’s so fresh, approachable and interesting now.

  Deep, dark and brooding Shiraz, rich and primary but has an understated elegance and balance. Black fruits, licorice and some spice characters, oak treatment and tannins a real highlight. Length for days, has that wonderful Standish texture as well. Will age for some time but outstanding now.
