  Not sure what happened to this wine since my last tasting. It has developed a frizzy taste like sparkling water. Very strange.

  Before decanting, the wine had a very sweet attack on the front palate, with a definite stewed fruit taste. I was not expecting to enjoy the wine at all.
  
  After decanting for 3 hours, the wine became much more approachable. There is still a sweetness on the font of the palate, predominately tasting of mulberry and boysenberry. A flavour profile I haven’t encountered in a shiraz before. The stewed flavours seem to have abated and there is now a complex mid-palate that was not evident earlier, with aniseed, smoky mocha and burnt caramel. Weird, but it kind of works. I appreciate the uniqueness of the wine, and there’s enough complexity to keep me intrigued, but don’t think I’ll be lining up for more.

  Last notes were a year ago. Still a consistent wine with no real change.

  Double yum and a half fantastic Shiraz. This wine gives your reason to live Shiraz all over again. Bursting with favour Strawberries and spice with a smooth finish. Great!
