Monday, February 6, 2017 - I tasted this immediately following the current vintage (2015) O'Riada.

Impressive to see the amazingly forward berries and spice of the '15 have mellowed consistently to reveal an overall deliciously blended cool climate shiraz.

Deep garnet rapidly thinning out towards the top. Light legs. Musty bookshelves, black pepper, subdued berries. Not a lingering finish, but not short either. Would easily suit lamb, beef, venison.

Well done Tim.
