Upon first opening this did not show much due to cool cellar temperature (drop in guest with food necessitated cracking open something quickly :) once given time to warm a little this showed really well with black fruit and plum with smooth tannins and medium long finnish. Coming up on 10 years of age, this wine is holding up nicely.

Unscrewed and poured. Excellent Shiraz. Scrumptious fruit. A slight polyethylene note that is a peculiar but not that off-putting. Very enjoyable, and easy-drinking. Half the bottle in the fridge. Some serious sediment. Day two, even better, the polyethylene note having vanished. I'd recommend a decant and an hour or so of air.

Dark, smooth, rich, well integrated. No hint of the tartness in the last bottle. No formal notes, but enjoyed by all, and very easy to drink.

Drinking very well now. Good fruit and nice body/mouth feel. Very good.
