  December 13, 2019 - An aging fruit bomb but a good one! Typical Aussie Shiraz nose - sweet, vegatal but blows off. Otherwise cherries, dark fruit, cedar, mushrooms. Fruity palate with some alcohol burn. Wine very well preserved, no sediment. Though my taste has changef I am finding some of these old SA reds much better than expected.

  July 8, 2018 - BBQ at our house. No formal notes. There is no doubt that this wine is in its perfect spot. Very mellow, with good complexity and concentration. That said, it is just way too jammy for my liking to be enjoyable. I respect the effort and the quality put into bottle, but this is like spooning stewed fruit on top of liquid chocolate. Very good quality, just nothing I can derive any pleasure from.

  Right into the mouth there's something weird and off putting.
  Is this sweet? Just too much fruit and chocolate, with the jam being a tad too ripe. Hard work...
