Cork broke in two but bottle was still in good shape upon extracting the bottom part of the cork. Remarkably vibrant, full of bright sweet fruit, smooth melting finish, alcohol is balanced and there is none of the trademark Shiraz bitterness or pepper. This may be slightly past its prime, but it is still tasty and was clearly made to last a bit longer.

This was classic Australian shiraz. Loads of spice on the nose; deep opaque colour. Big and spicy on the palate with some oak and a lot of fruit. Not really my favourite type of wine (a bit too overbearing), but good for those who like big auzzie shiraz.

Magnificent. All of the aforementioned notes but time in the bottle has really helped. Deep purple hue and long taste. Well worth the wait

great old barossa shiraz, the sweetness well balanced by some aged savouriness & good length. Again has benefitted greatly from time in the cellar

Rich and intense with good length - but not in any way jammy.
