March 20, 2017 - Close to my preferred profile of shiraz. Some grip not all jammy.
Copy and pasted barrel monkey review because they were drank same night and I like them the same, but this is slightly lighter bodied maybe due to the age and slightly less tannic also. -

November 14, 2011 - I bring this wine out to go with Willy's baby back ribs. Shiraz and barbecue really is about the best match one can make for Shiraz, in my book. The huge fruit forward nature is a good match for the sweetness of barbecue sauce. Without the sauce and the meat, Shiraz from Aussie and Syrah from US is generally just too over the top in fruit for me. The grape expresses a more complex nature and has a more interesting variation when built in the Rhone region and blended with Grenache, at least for me.

April 18, 2011 - Quintessential shiraz with lots of raspberry and blueberry on nose and palate. A little spice on the nose, not so much on the palate. It is a bit too sweet for me, but I thought it was well balanced with smooth tannins. A good wine for the price.
