  What a sleeper of a wine - I rarely drink this wine but it always positively surprises. Initially a bit sweet, almost syrupy, but this blew off to reveal a very good wine. It stood proudly with some excellent Bordeaux, top Nth Rhône & Aussie 1st Classifieds. Plum, chocolate, pepper, dry herbs. Lovely balance and structure.

  Aging gracefully, I'd say. Still rich on the nose, fresh on the palate, and deeply coloured. Lots of primary blackberry fruit, but also secondary notes of leather, earth, smoke, white pepper, and graphite on the finish. Juicy mouthfeel, attractive tannins, a balanced wine that was unmistakably an aussie shiraz but elegantly so.

  Still holding up. Dusky berries, cedary notes, rich and smooth.
