September 15, 2022 - Double decanted for 2-3 hours. A fairly relaxed but polished Aussie Shiraz. Not a bruiser. While clearly new world it is relatively restrained compared to some of its Barossa siblings. Lots of polished sweet black fruit with some savouriness and a hint of spice on the palate. Alcohol is in check. Tannins are resolving nicely with a hint of powder. In the zone now with a good decant, but should be fine to hang on to for another 10 years.

July 31, 2022 - Not over the hill, but at the back end of the prime drinking window. Mature tertiary notes are starting to take over the primary fruit that I think these wines are best known for. Structure is still there and overall a great wine. Would have been a 95+ if I had got to it a couple of years ago.

March 12, 2022 - This bottle had a clear oxidative streak next to cooked fruit and torrefaction. I think think it was representative

Some savoury earthy notes with touch of liquorice. Plenty of fruit still. Seems a little simple. Not brash and decent enough. Can drink with or without food.1 person found this helpful Comment
