Yvelin's farewell: My first instinct was that this was an Amarone but after some further clues / distractions I thought this might have been an Oz Shiraz. The sweetness of this wine was quite distracting with chocolate notes, not a fan of this at all.

Rich, broad, seamless. I don’t mind my Amarone with a bit of oak spices and this one certainly did. Luxurious wine but still atleast 5 years away from full integration. Best to let these sleep for a while.

Rich - plenty of cherry and deep black fruit - also with mocha and some forest. Nose definitely has a green note to it - maybe herbal at best, blows off by day two, but the fruits begin to stew a little by then, almost becoming more medicinal. Overall, rich, sweet, herbal. Drinking well now. Plenty of life left - in a good spot.
