Deep purple; tasted immeadiatley and after 3 hour decant (minimal sediment). Initial hot blackberry nose with strong, sharp tannins on palate. Tannins mellowed and revealed more nuance with some bark and pencil lead and nice mouth feel. Medium body, good form, medium long finish. Still lots of life left.

Decanted 2 hours, minimal debris, RT. Deep purple. Nose with plum, pepper, spice and graphite. Palate with dark berries, olive and more. Smooth with medium tannins and long finish. Great progression in mouth. No extra heat. Very good straight from the bottle but opened up later at dinner.

This stuff is drinking really wonderfully right now. And I think it has another five years in it.

Classic Shiraz/Syrah. Sings its own praises with olive and eucalyptus notes, stunner at 10-years.
