  This wine was purchased exactly 10 years ago and was the last of 3 bottles. The other 2 we consumed early in 2010 and 2011 and enjoyed their freshness but they were one-dimensional.
  I purposely buried this one in the cellar to see what aging would do and it worked out nicely. I had a couple of bourbons before and suddenly my wife asked for a "glass" of wine. Well I popped this and we headed down to the dock to watch the sunset on what was a stormy day in Maine that finally was clearing. Well you know how that goes the glasses kept getting refilled and we watched a fog bank roll across the lake until it enveloped us. So cool!
  Anyway the wine was dark, inky purple. The 15.7% ABV was well hidden and the oaky notes faded into a nice smoky backdrop. The nose was complex dark fruits and the wine had a silky mouth texture with a medium finish. Very enjoyable.

  Luscius full-bodied shiraz, I think I'll drink my last bottle soon.

  Our last bottle of six and almost a decade since I wrote a TN on this wine. Time has been very very kind to this wine - now well balanced, much softer and completely mature / in a great drinking window with probably another at least 2-3 years+ left at this level with proper cellaring. Probably no further upside to further cellaring and definitely recommend starting to drink up any remaining holdings. We loved this last night, highly recommend it and at our original acquisition price of at around $40 / bottle this is now a great QPR wine - thought about bumping up the score another point. Good mouth feel, one of the softest Aussies we've had, smooth, much less jammy and intense then in it's youth, very well balanced with remaining tannins now well integrated and fading. This last bottle was popped & poured at a restaurant, would recommend a short 30-60 min decant. Dark purple to black color with some peripheral bricking. Nose aromatic and dark with balanced dark fruit, eucalyptus and more smoke then the tar I remember from previous bottles. Primary flavors include dark stone fruit, black currant and rasoberry up front with darker tones of licorice, tar, terroir and black pepper on the mid-late palate. Very long pleasant lingering aftertaste.

  Passed its prime. Stewed fruit and harsh. Enjoyed previously, but hung on this bottle too long.
