August 14, 2022 - Starts to have some age now but still big primary fruits, the tannins are well balanced and alcohol not overpowering.

August 14, 2021 - Fruity and chewey.
The first of 2 bottles, but it feels too primary and chewey at this stage.
Enjoyable, but has the potential to wow in 3-5 more years. -

August 2, 2020 - Big, fabulous McClaren Vale Shiraz. Needed a good hour of being open to get good. Dark, ripe fruit nicely balanced by tannins and acidity. Great value.

July 12, 2019 - Fine tannin, big black, and red fruit, mineral and earthy, I don’t think I’ve had a finer version of Aussie Shiraz for some time. Right in the slot. Doesn’t feel like it’s over the hill, just can’t imagine it’s getting much better. So good
