2/5/2021 - Matt@5453 Likes this wine: 92 Points
Definitely benefited with a bit of air time, opening up to show some development; tannins and fruit have softened, with lovely french oak spice. A very good expression of shiraz, medium/full bodied without being overripe or jammy, lovely balance. The use of french oak rounds out what is a pretty impressive wine. For my tastes, I wouldn't keep any longer, but if you like a more a mature wine has enough acidity and tannin to aid its aging in the cellar.
