September 22, 2023 - I agree with EX-Ray, this wine in 2023 is a bomb. I was not expecting much but was blown away. Big gamey, dusty leather, dark dark fruit, coffee, vanilla, fig and all kinds of spice. I am not a fan of 16% alc but this wine had plenty going in to mask it, or at least make it tollerable. This wine will not get any better but it is really sweet right now. With proper cellar storage my cork still disintegrated and requied a durand. Drink now and enjoy!

February 9, 2021 - cellar tracker, in their "Time to drink up" section, consistently underestimates how long these great Aussie shiraz will last, especially the Sarah & Sparky Marquis wines from Marquis-Phillips, Henry's Drive, Shirvington, Mollydooker, as well as Greenock Creek, Two Hands, Torbreck, and others. This Integrity was supposed to be at the end of its peak in 2015 but it's not even close. Still garnet, now slightly translucent and with subtle amber edge, it retains its powerful Aussie shiraz aromas of dark fruits with vanillin oak, very complex and with some elegance it did not have in its youth. On the palate, still very full-bodied, but with a black fruit dominated roundness and smoothness indicating full maturity. Tannin very much in the background. Hot on the late palate and especially aftertaste due to the high alcohol. Still a fabulous wine! Time to drink over the next couple of years, though...it won't get any better.
