  Still a lovely McLaren Vale Shiraz. Drinking beautifully.
  Lovely dark fruit, mouth coating glycerine like feel and nice finish.

  Still a first rate McLaren Vale Shiraz. Big mouth feel with oodles of dark fruit. Tannins find but holding it all together and just the right acidity. Long finish.

  I know there's a lot of controversy about this wine. Found it simply wonderful. Full bodied smooth McLaren Vale with typical chocolate drinking at its peak.

  This wine is still traveling very well in the bottle and can easily sit in the cellar for another 3-4 years, although not sure that it will improve much. Benefited from an hour's decanting, but very smooth wine and still holding together very well.

  I bought this bottle on a trip to Sydney 5 years ago. Should have opened this much earlier. Dark purple. Initial heat that went away. Smoke, tar, and musty. Vegetal? Over 90 minutes, the wine smoothed out, but the mustiness didn't go away. I saved a pour for tomorrow.
