I thought this might be at the end of it’s window but clearly has a few good years ahead. A little tanic on the initial pop n pour but came together in less than 30 minutes.

Decanted and poured the first glass immediately. This was fantastic from the first sip. Beautiful nose with tons of dark fruit, figs and raisin. Even better on the palate with just layers and layers of flavor. Drinking incredibly well now and will drink over 3 nights to see where it goes!

Second night and it is getting better! Really smooth with a lingering finish. Dark fruit disappearinging and figs/raisins more prominant and lingering beyond 30 seconds

All the hallmarks of a blockbuster Barossa Shiraz. Well integrated and smooth berries, touch of spice. Nice chewiness after 5-6 seconds and then a bit more length on the finish. Another 3-4 years left.....will test that assumption!
