Cor blimey. Marvellous stuff. Generally don't like Shaw and Smith Shiraz much on release but a bit of age works miracles. Great nose, colour may have lightened on the rim somewhat. Long harmonious flavour. PS popped and poured.

Very young still, fresh, Rhone style Shiraz. Great fresh colour, lovely balance and breath of flavour and complexity. Almost seemed like a hint of Viognier. Red and blue fruit, plums, brambly, stony/minerally, little hint of aniseed or the like. Lovely blend of cool elegance and depth.

Still quite youthful, and much bigger and bolder that I expected. Especially after drinking their more recent 2014 vintage. Pretty good wine with maybe a touch too much alcohol protruding on the finish.

Very nice. Initially a bit closed but lovely peppery spice and black fruits.

Brick red colour with fragrant nose. Delicious. Long palate with balanced fruits
