Decanted 3 hours. Bottle purchased in Sydney 4/2011. Rich and balanced, ground black pepper, floral, nice concentration to middle and late palate. Plenty of pepper and minerality through the finish. Needs some bottle age; plenty of complexity hiding here.
Decanted 3 hours. Not overly complex at this point, but very well made, with black plum, dark chocolate, juicy-sweet black fruit. Fat and primary right now, but a nice syrah. 93+

Decanted 3 hours. Bottle purchased in Melbourne 11/2008. Sweet concentrated fig, red meat, smoke, molasses, raisin, eucalyptus nose. Bitter dark chocolate, raisin, noticeable tannins on the palate. Excellent concentration, open 3/4 palate. Not as good as the 2004 Relic, but good stuff.
