Both nose and palate rich with Apricot, Peach, Honey etc. Doesn't have the length or presence in the mouth of a quality Sauternes, but for the price this is a steal!I doubt it will get any better, but should drink well for the next 5 or so years.

Found at the back of the cellar, kind of glad I put it there as I would have opened earlier if not. Right in the zone for an aged Shiraz, showing textbook leather secondary characters on the nose. The palate is rich and complex with a nice tough of sweetness. Not going to get any better than this I suspect? Drink up if you've got some.

15.5% ABV!! It's a big wine, a little alcohol heat on the nose but less then expected. The palate is rich but not complex, dominated by toffee notes. Good length. Would be nice to see it again in 5 - 10 years
