  dense, smooth, dark fruit, coffee, and vanilla - love it. It's good to drink now.

  Lots of vanilla oak on opening - settles after 20mins of air. Rich and almost jammy, but not roasted. Lacks depth and complexity and starts to show alcohol with too much air. Lacks freshness making it a bit tiring. Best with steak/meat and for drinking now and to 2020 (not sure time will be a friend to this). Hard work on its own. For me, not even close to the quality of Elderton Command - another old vine Shiraz at a similar price point. 89pts

  Dark purple. Nose of ripe blackberry, vanilla, some spice. Rich wine. Really great and enjoyable on day 1, but became quite raisiny quickly on day 2 (still good though) so would suggest drinking in one sitting (with others of course!).

  Deep ruby. Medium plus intensity aromas of dark fruits - blackberry, tar and cedar. On the palate it has medium acid, medium tannin, is full bodied, high alcohol and long length. Flavours of blackcurrant. Nice wine, with lots of primary fruit still and fairy well integrated but just a little off being well balanced. May improve a little, but unlikely to do much more.

  Peppery, damson and other black fruits. Some sweet cherry cola, especially on the finish. Just not doing it for me - seems out of balance. Woody, green, stalky notes on day 2, with serious alcohol burn (recommend popping and pouring, and drinking on day 1).
