Too much practice. wrote: 87 points
October 2, 2015 - Thoroughly enjoyed it, for the first time in 5 bottles. Held up well against the (better) Billi Billi Shiraz. But this is long, deep, smooth and round. Delightful, with or without food.

January 28, 2015 - Deep ruby hue, blackberry, touch of raspberry and cherry. Dense rich palate, with some spice but not too much, cinnamon and a little clove. medium finish, good example of a decent SA shiraz

November 20, 2014 - Opaque purple. Inviting fruity nose - promise a rich plummy palate but crucially doesn't suggest a cooked, jammy wine. Impressive. There's a hint of a cinnamon spiciness which carries through on the palate, which also delivers the plummy, blackberry fruit that the nose suggested at. There's a bit of a burn on the finish, which attacks a little bit earlier than you'd like, creating a slight moment where the threshold of spiciness is overstepped, but a solid, economical example of Aussie Shiraz.
