Earth, ginger, ash, some floral notes and also a vegetal undertone. Palate is rounded with a caramel note but it has retained nice acidity. Has some interesting character to it.

Floral, musk, some kero, spice and earth. Medium length. Nicely balanced with a touch of sweetness about it. Drinking nicely now.

Orange peel, herbs and a soapy floral lift. Good body and really nice texture to it. Wasn't surprised when this was revealed as I had tried it a year ago and it was consistent with that taste.

Toast and wooden with some light floral notes in behind. Fading on the palate, with the fruit falling away. Still drinkable but this bottle not providing a huge amount of pleasure.

Talc, spice, honey, pineapple and a light oak note. Great acidity, really nicely balanced. Had this a few months ago and it is maybe even a touch better than the last great bottle. Superb.

Smoky oak, bacon and pine aromas. Fairly rounded on the palate, with the oak providing good structure, but not quite having settled just yet. Currently at an in-between stage.

Mint, florals and a bit of a freezer burnt character that detracts. Palate is nicely honeyed, with medium length and a kick of acid through the middle. Nearing the end of its life but holding up okay.

Soy and caramel with a bitter edge. I think good bottles of this might be few and far between at this stage.

Pithy lemon, tropical fruit, some musky florals. Provides both sweetness and decent minerality on the palate. Carries nicely. Not complex but has some appeal.

Floral, spice, lemon and honey. Good fresh mouthfeel, nice medium length and still has some fruit weight behind it without feeling dense. No real overt Viognier character to it but holding up really nicely.

Grapefruit, vanilla and honey. Just holding up on the palate, doesn't seem faulty, just seems old without having developed significant character.

Oxidized. Has elements of goodness but not good.

Charcoal, graphite, meaty, cherry and a little bit of VA - plenty going on. Has an interesting savoury character on the palate, the tannins do stand out a bit even with some quite intense fruit. Palate isn't as interesting as the nose but it had certainly developed since I tried it in its youth.

Herbal, earth, mint and licorice. Nice medium weight profile but started to fade a bit in the glass which is a concern for its future prospects. Medium length and well balanced for now.

White pepper, sawdust and oak, floral and chocolate. Lean on the palate, and it doesn't carry the oak treatment. Okay but Oaky.

Rosemary, redcurrant, spice and herbs. Nice pure fruit on the palate, with a mineral core and good length. Strongest wine of this Shiraz flight.

Hunter/Coonawarra blend. Raspberry, redcurrant, earth and charred meats. Very good flavour intensity that really needs food to show its best. A little more complexity and this would be amazing but it is just excellent as it is.

Floral, raspberry and stems with an additional herbal note to it. Not all about the fruit but it does stand out as Australian anyway. Nicely restrained on the palate, with good acidity. This is very young but I like it and would happily look at it again with some additional age.

Redcurrant, leather and mint. Medium bodied, good tannin resolution with some sweet red fruits still present. Very good!

Chocolate, licorice and vanilla - nose is a little muted throughout. Medium bodied, nicely balanced. Good but not really pushing to be great.

Chocolate, spice, raspberry and graphite. Good fruit intensity with plenty of tannins to back it up. Still very young and really needs more time.

Cloudy colour. Citrus and herbal nose, certainly different. Very light body, with some of the herbal element pushing through. Not to my taste.

Kirsch, smoke, chocolate and tobacco. A little plush on the palate, it doesn't seem to have a huge amount of Nebbiolo character but it is a nice younger drinking style.

Ginger bread, bubblegum, pine and herbs. The palate isn't as interesting, it wants some more tannin and acid for structure and lift. Overall good, but I'm okay to have only tried it once.

Band aids and spice - fruit is masked. Palate has the same brett taking over. Not a positive bottle to me.

Blackcurrant and oak with some kirsch and pencil shavings. Palate has good richness from the fruit, with medium structure keeping it moving. Nice but a little bit boring.
