Deep garnet. Nose was of Bing cherries, with eucalyptus as a slight background accent. What a surprise, pleasant rather than the standard eucalyptus fruit bomb. Taste was smooth, more like the typical shiraz. I liked.

Solid color, deep dusty red. Rich nose of dried spice/leather/dried earth. Palate is full of coco and deep dried fruit extractions swirling and gritty tannins nice lingering sour fruit finish and lingers nicly. Great year, great wine. Life ahead 5+.

This bottle was totally screwy. Had a stinky cheese component. Decanted it for hours but it never really went away. Ended up pouring it out.

Deep garnet. Nose of anise and pepper. Taste similar, smooth.

Nice bottle! Consistent with my notes from the first bottle I had about a year and a half ago.
