A few years on from my last bottle and this wine keeps delivering beyond its price point. Simply lovely deep red/purple colouring with only a tinge of apparent age. Beautifully evolved with great mellowed balance. Dark fruited with a lovely soft tarry, gentle spice and even a slight rounded chocolate character. Simply a very good wine. And seems like it is still going.

Superb for this humbly priced wine. This is probably a "no great wines only great bottles" moments but whatever it is I'm enjoying. The wine has developed but is so fresh. It has that ethereal quality of elegance and power. The taste profile is savoury, licquorice, with black currant fruit character and a tinge of clove spice. A truely full breadth experience.

Deep dark nose of blueberry, blackberry, and plenty of vanilla. Medium bodied, fruity palate that was fairly thin with lots of vanilla oak, low acid and tannin levels. Short finish. On the palate the wine was certainly lacking intensity and did not live up to the promise of the nose.

Powerful Shiraz. Maybe just a bit over the top. Dark chocolate, plums, the works.
