Vinturi aerated with a 90min decant. Black cherry and plum nose with hints of cedar. Full bodied and smooth. Layers of black cherry and plum on the palate with graphite and mineral notes. Lots of flavour and interest here. Long plum dominated finish. Just superb and drinking a tad nicer than 3 years ago. Sadly the last of 4 bottles.

Big but restrained deep ruby colour, lots fruit blackberries plum, vanilla licorice spicy finish nice balance, smooth integrated tannins no jamminess but has power, couple of hours decant, lovely bottle of wine. I was worried it would be just to much, but no, probably at its peak but plenty of life left in it.

Wow. This really puts Shiraz on the map. Insane integration of profound wood undertones and powerful fruit. Will likely mellow for 4-7 years. But this could easily be the peak if u like some punch

Vinturi aerated into decanter and let stand for 2 hours. Bright black cherry red. Long slow legs. Black fruits, leather and wet earth nose. Cherries and black berries on the palate. Smooth, flavourful and surprising delicate. Medium finish. A very nice wine worth seeking out.

Good balance and length. The fruit is powerful but not jammy. Acidity provides a good backbone through the length of the palate. The tannins are refined and integrated. It is still young - the balance means many years in front of it.
