Sunday, April 26, 2020 - From a 375 mL bottle well cellared since purchase in 2009. At peak or really seeming very slightly past peak, this has blunted eucalyptus that is more prominent in younger aussie shiraz. The lifting of that curtain shows delicious syrah fruit underneath with a new world punchiness deftly combined with a sturdy yet unobtrusive structure. Tannins very fine-grained and mature at this point. A wonderful wine that impressed me greatly considering the $20 I paid for the 375 back when. Enjoy now or through 2024 if well-cellared in a 750. If a 375, enjoy now!
