Decant for 30mins prior to drinking. Claret/dark scarlet red, an aged wine for sure. Not a lot on the nose, appears faded, although faint earth and cigar box. Fruit has gone, wine appears rather flat and a non event. Past its best by quite a way but still drinkable I guess if you aren't overly fussed. Disappointing nevertheless, my own fault though and I should have used for cooking.....

I am typically not a fan of the "Aussie" Shiraz style, but this was quite pleasant. Big fruit, but not overwhelming by any means. Some depth through the mid-palate and a lingering finish. I did not expect it, but this was Outstanding. thedrunkencyclist.com

Rich plum nose. Rich plum and blackberry on pallete. Licorise after taste. Good length. Excellent drinking after 16 years cellaring.

Very nice traditional Aussie shiraz. Still some improvement possible as a little fuller on the second night. Very enjoyable.
