Very nice wine. Dark garnet color. Nose of spice and soy sauce. Mildly tanic. Some dark fruit and spice on the palate. Can last another 10 years. A good wine with Stilton and/or rib eye. 1st of 4.

Opened a 2004 Schild Estate shiraz-deep dark purple in color. Nose fruit cocktail like. Berry, cherry and plum tasting. Long fruit finish not hot but still slight sweet tannin burn. Very good. Can last another few years and no need to decant.

Surprised at dark plum color. Nice balance, smooth but not dull in taste. Still had tanic bite especially on the finish. Not sure what I was tasting. Combination of sour cherries and dark chocolate? Very nice but fruit taste has taken a back seat. Drink now.
