2012 Thorn-Clarke Shiraz Shotfire (Ridge) Barossa

Decanted for 8 hours. A medium/full-bodied wine. Plum & blackberry on the nose with a hint of chocolate. This was a lovely wine. Quite savoury with nicely balanced tannin's riding on a wave of oak & sandalwood. I still have two. I have heard it could go down another 9 years but i felt it was almost at it's peak so i'll open another one later this year or next year & see how it's changed.

Certainly better than I recall the first 2 being, they were opened in 2016. But I only gave mine about 2.5 hours in the decanter - do you think there's a benefit in the longer decant for wines like this? I plan to drink the remaining 3 over then next 3 or 4 years. Outstanding value for money.

Got this one for a Christmas holiday gift. Fantastic bottle, very smooth and luscious blend of Cab and Shiraz that Penfolds seems to have perfected. Pop and pour deliciousness!!

2012 Taylors Shiraz The Pioneer Clare Valley

Tasted during a walkabout, WA event "a matter of taste", so no tasting notes, only short impressions. Not sure what this Port producer tries to achieve with this off the mill, me-too, hot, South Australian Shiraz.

2012 Kaesler Shiraz Stonehorse Barossa Valley

A nice GSM (the CDP recipe)... has been better in previous years, but pretty good. I won't rush out to buy a case (our criterion with tryers) but we liked it with dinner.

6/5/18, 3:33 PM - Sounds like you were drinking the blend - this wine is 100% Shiraz according to winery notes.
