The nose has refined. Gone is the jammy fruit, replaced by lighter fresh plums with an added dimension of fresh herbs (thyme). The palate is also rounded but not cloying. The tannins are perfectly melted giving just enough structure to balance the acidity. The finish is a mix of spices and a slight coffee note. Over all, a beautiful shiraz that is leagues beyond the Australian stereotype.

Fairly dark nose, with aromas of plums and prunes and dark chocolate. The palate echoes the nose with added hints of mushrooms and undergrowth. The finish is all smooth tannins and medium acidity. Ready to drink now!
