February 3, 2020 - NobleRottersSydney - 2005 Oz reds (360 Bar & Dining, Sydney): {cork, 13.5%} [Glenn] An old-fashioned after-dinner mint dressed up as wine. With a hint of vanilla too. Plenty of oak on the palate, but it’s decent stuff. Medium weight. Mint and coconut flavours. Soft acid, not much back-palate presence. OK wine if you like the old-fashioned style, although it does finish a bit short of medium length. Drink up.

August 29, 2008 - Smooooooth. This second taste was as good as the first. Bottle shared at the beach with friends went quickly! Shiraz spice on this wine is very well balanced. This is an excellent shiraz.

March 24, 2008 - Popped and poured Easter Sunday. Beautiful dark, red garnet color. Initial nose was sweet berry, mildly oaked with a hint of chocolate and spice. This wine kept our noses in our glasses all afternoon as the fragrance simply mellowed without losing any interest over the hours. Very soft on the palate, with berries up front and a pleasantly sweet, silky finish almost void of any tannic acidity. This is an excellent Shiraz that is drinking very well right now and should continue to improve. Buying more to keep and share.
