Cork and color was great despite it's age. Very ripe plum, leather, pepper & smoke. Medium finish. Nice tannin and acidity. Should be fun to see how this develops as the bottle is open.

A huge surprise. Opened this up today and let it breathe for 6 hours. Not expecting the result: gorgeous! No hint of brown in the colour, sweet and deep fruit with a long finish. The benefits of appropriate aging for good Aussie Shiraz (its 73% shiraz) have rarely been more compelling!

A lovely Aussie Shiraz. Had the opportunity to decant for an hour before drinking. Had a small taste while decanting. Out of the bottle caused a little worry as it was a little hot. It was really worth the wait. Wonderful aroma of coffee, leather, and raisins. Chewy mouth-feel. Deep color, almost black. A great compliment to the beef roast with wild mushrooms.

Cork perfect. Consumed with extended family on Father's Day. We all loved it. It is still holding up under good cellaring.

This one has faded quite a bit since the last bottle, good thing it was the last one! Still fine to drink, but certainly has lost the luster.
