  Lovely. I had forgotten how much I enjoy Australian Shiraz with proper age. 20 minute decant. Enjoyed over 2 hours. Still all there.

  PnP. Cork broke in two but they both came out intact. Pretty intense smoky gaminess and black fruit on the nose, imagine pigeon in black cherry sauce or something, cooked over wood. But there is also some red fruit like raspberry. There’s something else too, I can’t put my finger on it. Lovely complex nose. Big acidity on the palette. Fruit a little faded but nice black pepper and smoke. While very nice, I suspect it would have been even better a few years ago.

  Still drinking well. Agree with prior comments about being more northern Rhône than Aussie. Lots of dark red fruit. Tannins long resolved.

  About running out of time. Still very characteristically syrah... almost more northern rhone-like than big bold australian shiraz. Extremely enjoyable and it was great qpr. If you're still holding, drink up!

  Slightly oxidative. Have 2 more bottles left, I hope the next 2 are in better shape.
