  My only one and I'm glad we sat on it based on the previous reviews. I think it's a bit more balanced than what it sounded previously. Fairly dense garnet color. Smells like dark fruits, graphite, chocolate, licorice, crushed rocks. Medium body, medium (+) acid and finish, with flavors of dark fruits, orange peel, spice, and minerals. Yeah, I really think giving these bigger Australians some extra time is key.

  Starting to show some of its age. Not as deeply hued. Nose is medium intensity with violet and black fruit. Palate is mixed, with the tell tale pepper and overripe fruit mixed with notes of leather that don't quite integrate. I'll enjoy my other bottle very soon.

  Thick and unctuous, with brooding dark fruits and very smooth tannins. Drinking really well now.

  Wow! That is chunky. I thought I had drunk dense Australian Shiraz until now. Thick berries and alcohol. Only try if you like Ozzy style Shiraz at its most extreme.
