Brief note from a dinner with extended family. Nose was notable for forest floor, sous bois. Dark fruits on the palate, somewhat creamy, fine powdery tannins. Enjoyable drink, paired quite well with lotus rice with chinese sausage.

See previous notes. Medium intensity on the nose. Blackberry, cassis, lead and pencil shavings. A little too ripe and over extracted for my taste. The heat was also evident. Hold.

I found it to be bland, not overly complex with minimal aroma. Others liked the mineral nature more than me

👍 😎 A big n bold Aussie red! Purple. Legs 🦵. Sediment. Full body blackberry, blueberry, cassis, oak. Dry. Soft. Tannins.
Decanted.
A wine comparison with 2013 Brown Brothers Shiraz Blend.
Bin 389 was a unanimous winner. 🏆

Oak, wood leather, blackberry. Strong tannins but not overwhelming.
