Richly fruited but quite stylish aged Shiraz. Dark plums and black berry. Perhaps a bit loose in frame and lost a bit of appeal/structure after 2-3 hrs of being open.

Started out with hints of smoke, tobacco and spice. As the evening progressed smooth dark fruit began to dominate. Really nice bottle with at least a few years to go, but I am not sure if it will continue to improve. I guess some time will tell...

Tasty dark berry fruit. Could use a bit more acidity or tannins to the structure but not flabby. Not a lot of licorice or other strong secondary flavors that I normally see from OZ wines. Tasty & easy drinking that should appeal to many.

This was a delightful bottle with deep rich flavor, red currents, and lots of fruit.

Scored the wine, but did not take notes.
