Even better than last week - this is a truly perfect bottle. Sublime marriage of enormous intensity and effortless lightness, peaches and cream, salty butter, in full bloom, fabulous acidity and length. Chef d'oeuvre. Drink now - 2016.
Lovely, ripe and sweet fruit, perfectly absorbed oak, low acid, good definition and typicity, exemplary Ozzie Shiraz, more graceful than most. Now - 2016.

Complex and rich, lots of toasty oak, adequate acidity, a good 2003 but will not make old bones.

Not unlike the Kanzemer, relatively light for a BA, flowers and caramel. Very good.
