October 7, 2013 - I tried a straight Shiraz from Pike (Clare Valley), this proved to be a more elegant and smooth wine, and although it had .5% alcohol higher than the Hamilton, you hardly noticed the booze at all - and that's what I call a dangerous wine. Red licorice, blackberry, and a touch of cocoa kick it off, but as it aerates it develops dried character and that adds some depth and additional flavours to this wine.

November 20, 2007 - Dissappointing. Remembered full and fierced tannins, magnificent arcane structure and complex black fruit/creosote-aromas. Not much left: tannins are gone, sours still there but clouded by fenolics. Bramble, black plum, feeble hint of creosote, not bad in itself, but overblown by alcohol(sweetness). Pity. Should be drunk now.
