Paid about €30/$34 for this bottle which must be considered a great price for what you get.

Toasty and red fruit on the nose, with lots of red fruit such as mashed strawberries, wild strawberries, red winter apples and some citrusy hints of lime and grapefruit. As others have mentioned perhaps a bit low on the acidity, but overall a well balanced wine. Will buy again.

Fruity nose, lots of cherries, cassis, blackberries, currant, hint of fresh leather. Good mouthfeel, body and taste. Some hints of tobacco, cedar/charcoal. Overall a high quality wine, but very young.

A nice yet not complex PN with lots of warmth and fruityness and some earthly hints. Overripe strawberries, plums, cherries, red berries and a soft vanilla oaky tone.

Great wine, ready to drink now even though a few years of cellaring only will benefit it. On the nose; lots of yeast and apples combined with a nutty/almond sweetness, a hint of cinnamon. Mouthfeel is good, aggressive bubbles and high acidity, but well balanced with a smooth mousse and lots of fruit.

Even better now than last time. ~5 hours in a decanter.
Big nose, lots of dark fruits and berries, cherries and blackberry. A hint of spices nicely combined with the softness of the vanilla and oakyness.

Great, intense taste with lots of fruit and dark berries. A hint of mintyness, perhaps eucalyptus. Will open next bottle in ~1-2 years.

Good value wine. On the nose lots of cassis, herbs and berries. Light bodied mouthfeel, medium acidity, and a rich taste of berries and lots and lots of cassis. Good, but not yet there.

Good value wine. Lots of over ripe berries; strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, some currant. Very simple and light in body, but yet with a refreshing taste and finish.

Ruby red, garnet color with a nose of ripe strawberries and raspberries. A hint of dark berries such as blackberries and currant, which shows alot more in the taste. Medium acidity, medium body, smooth texture. Great value, ready to drink now or hold for a few years.

Very closed at first, only foretelling the awaiting attack of gooseberries, peach, citrus/lime zest and quite high acidity. After some air time, it opens up to something easily enjoyable with a nice full body of peach, apricots, gooseberries and a nice citrusy touch aswell as some stonefruit. Still way to young but for the price it's well worth it. Had with oysters to which it paired great.

Blind tasting.
On the nose, lots of elder blossom, lime and citrusy. Some chalk and stone with a nice addition of floral tones and some dried peach. Resembles the fruitiness of a sauterne.

The mouthfeel is fresh and crisp, with a good balanced acidity. Perhaps a bit short but with a nice floral and fruity taste. Peach, elderberries, lots of mineral.

Young but opens up in the glass or decanter after some time.
Lots of minerality, citrus and limestone on the nose. Great taste with lime zest, a touch of sulphur, brioche and apples. It requires some time in the glass before it really shows off. For the price, very good.

Last bottle of this, but also the best. Very enjoyable at the moment. On the nose alot of blackberries, currant, ripe strawberries and liquorice, very promising. Mouthfeel is long and soft packed with dark red fruits and berries where blackberries and overripe strawberries stand out, surrounded by a nice touch of oak. Drink now or hold for a few more years.

Very nice and high quality cool climate shiraz.
On the nose, blackberries, over ripen and mushy strawberries as well as some cedar and vanilla tones from the oak.

Intense taste of dark berries and fruits, and perhaps a hint of eucalyptus.

A great wine that could do for some more time in the cellar!
