Community Tasting Note

FredericoWines Likes this wine:

Friday, January 5, 2024 - Opened this to pair with a reverse seared New York strip. Was afraid of opening it too early with less than 1 hour of decant, but I was wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed it over the hour and half at dinner. Rich and smooth with sweet tannins, which were not excessive nor bitter. Satisfying nose of red fruits and mocha. Thanks to the use of very old oak vats, it is not a tannic or jammy style typical of Australian shiraz.

No idea what the price is for current release, but I paid CAD 68 at Costco five years ago and still thought it was a good deal.
