Nice wine, but definitely needs decanting. Took a good half-hour or so to open up in the glass - but was very decent thereafter. Medium tannins. Had I seen the extensive CE window ahead of time, I'm might have given it a bit more time. But perfectly decent now!

Very much a brassy Barossa Shiraz, but all that bid, brushing dark fruit has some restraint and offers spice and aerate notes to round out the package.

Deep ruby in color. Notes of dark cherry, plum, cocoa, and potting soil. Nicely balanced tannins and acidity. Very nicely put together; not the one-dimensional fruit bomb I often associate with Shiraz.

Ripe and juicy and ready to go at the open. It didn't change much over the course of three days. Good depth of primary fruit nicely balanced. This deserves the WS accolades. I'll look for the '20 vintage.
