December 2, 2021 - Grand Cru Shiraz (The four seasons hotel, the rocks, sydney): Fruit cake like the Jim Barry but this time joined but plenty of alcohol warmth...sweet blackberry is a little jammy as well. Positively Porty and extracted, raisin water, vanilla...lacks the elegance and balance of the Armagh...

12/17/21, 3:02 AM - That's a great question...it is, based on standard projections, preposterously young but the lack of balance (elegance is less of an issue if you like big bolshy wines) is a concern even at this time for me...I had the 2012 and 2013 on release and they were better from this perspective. The 2007 and 2016 on a par with this. Sorry, that's not really an answer...With age it will get better but it will never be elegant and will struggle for balance, for me.
