From my cellar since release. No ullage. Perfect cork. The smell is classic Clare valley. Warm dark plums, red earth, just a taste of Oz. The colour is trending to brown, but with a bit of air to clear the funk this is still very intense. Of course new world, but this is just lovely. Drink now.

Wow, this wine really won me over. At first I didn't know what to think, right away I smelled eucalyptus and tasted absolute darkest fruit i've ever found in a shiraz. Usually they're vibrant and explosive but this was brooding but pure, and i've never been to Australia but I actually felt I was really getting a taste of it's true terroir. I've heard Clare shiraz was the answer for those looking for balance instead of the over-oaked fruit bomb wines pouring out of Barossa and this wine is just that.
