Beautiful nose with dark fruit, plums, oak, smoke, a little porty. Strong tannins but resolving. Relatively smooth. Hides 15% alcohol well. Long finish.

Beautiful bottle drinking at its peak. A nose of licorice, asian spice, dark cherry, menthol and berry that leads to a medium-bodied, plush, expressive and expansive palate of red and dark fruits, as well as licorice, camphor and tar. Lush, savory and flavorful.

Typical mid-level aussie shiraz. ($45) Solid nose, flavor and finish. However, nothing separates this wine from the other 50 good shiraz's at this price level.

1850s vineyard. Sadly oxidised. Due to the cork?
