From magnum. Tannic on opening but got better with 2 hour decant. Huge fruit, plums, leather ,mocha. Big heavy rich Shiraz with noticeable heat/alcohol.. definitely a food wine. Not yet at it's peak, probably will be in 5 years and will live as long as cork allows. Perhaps more on the brutish than subtle side. Wish I'd kept some for next day to evaluate progression. But alas, we drank it all!

Nice Shiraz, really good fruit with nice smooth tannins and a decent finish. Lots of sediment. Decant a couple of hours.

This wine started off with a delightful nose but quite bitter on the palate. This improved after about 1.5 hours.
