9/18/2010 - basecadet wrote: 93 pointsThis wine still needs time, from a half bottle with about 4+hrs in the decanter it came out of its slumber. Very powerful with gripping tannins and a sharp acidity which worked wonderfully with food instead of sipping it alone. Despite being a powerhouse I felt that everything was in good balance with all the appealing aspects of an Aussie Shiraz without any of the fruit bomb stylings |

3/21/2005 - basecadet wrote: 88 pointsDark (opaque) garnet color, decanted for 1 hour. Slightly tannic but opened up with time. Nose starting of barnyard, spice moving to violets, tabacco, black fruit. Short finish. A good wine and went well with a Pasta/Tomato sauce dinner. |

3/6/2005 - basecadet wrote: NRGreat Wine, nice dark scents on the nose, blackberries, tar. Soft tannins that are present but not too gripping and a velvet finish, Could really taste the Grenache and the Shiraz grapes. Loved this one. |

3/5/2005 - basecadet wrote: NRServed Chilled, Smell of Orange Peels, Kerosene, Herbs and Celery that continues into the taste with a nice smokiness, finish lingers and is warming. Next time it will be a half bottle if possible, 750 is way too much to get it all down in time. |
