Deep,pure red. Initial 'Musar' like dried raisin taste then very round and smooth. Possibly tail off a bit quickly but otherwise so much in balance and really glossy.

Very balanced with still solid fruit and complex notes of minerality, rose petal and clover. Very smooth and somewhat light for a Shiraz. The 1999 magnum is drinking very well now.

2011 Family Xmas; 12/24/2011-12/25/2011 (Alicante): What a bottle! Brownish colour for a meaty nose, full of ripe cherries, strawberries, raspberries and all red fruits cocktail. Sandalwood revels that oak is perfectly well-integrated. Rioja like. Cant find a single clue you are drinking an Aussie Shiraz. Watery mouthfeel yet delicious, great with traditional Xmas lunch. Best Shiraz ever and happy cause I bought 06 number 2 at BBR, London. By the way, Australia CAN DO elegance. Here we have a good example.
¡Menuda botella! Color amarronado para una nariz cárnica, llena de cerezas, fresas, incluso frambuesa y cocktail de frutillas rojas. El sándalo revela que el roble está perfectamente buen integrado. Parece Rioja. No se encuentra una sola pista de que es un Shiraz australiano. Sensación acuosa en boca, delicioso, grande con la comida tradicional de Navidad. El mejor Shiraz de mi vida y feliz porque compré en Londres 06. Por cierto, Australia puede elaborar elegancia. Aquí tenemos un buen ejemplo.

Drank beautifully, shower its age but not faded. Mature Shiraz with lots of tobacco and spices.

Complex, developed nose. Plum, leather, spice, bacon, sandalwood. Juicy, intense, pillowy palate. Like sinking into a comfortable leather armchair. Drink up. (94 Excellent wine)
