August 4, 2019 - Have cellared this 2006 Aussie gem for a fair while. Superb example of what ageing does to good Syrah (or Shiraz in this case) - bags of exuberant luscious strawberry fruit, a lively uplifting pepperiness, iron, and the beginnings of super appealing tertiary characteristics: nutmeg, fruit compote, and some gamey flavours (sort of jugged hare, or venison, or calf's liver), and finally an acidity full of tension and nerve and vibrancy. A very good wine! Worth waiting a long time for.
