Magnum night. Magnificent, deeply yellow, matchstick and rockmelon nose with long Ling length of palate. Backbone of oak carrying the fulsome wine which still holds it’s fruit and some freshness. Best now to 2024 in magnum.

Interesting bottle of multi vintage Shiraz from Barossa. Powerful nose of violet and smoky bacon following through with a hint of liquid smoke on the palate. Personally I think an extra couple years in the cellar is what it needs to integrate more. Drink 2022-2030

I wanted so badly to love this wine. I have had three now over the past year. The first completely gone, vinegar at best. The next wonderful CDP almost as good as it gets and this referment acidity hiding the undertone of what seems and ideal more full bodied earth spice and wild fruit cdp. What a shame and expense given the inconsistency.
