  {cork} A bit dilute. Similar to last year's note in fact. Some concentrated mulberry and plummy shiraz flavours, low/medium dusty tannins, but it has a tired air about it somehow. Fading garnet colour. Medium weight, but a fairly short finish. An inferior example of the label.

  {cork, 14.5%} Handsomely garnet, but just showing some age. The nose offers the typical sweet twist of Tahbilk's better shirazes, with liquorice and jammy raspberry aromas. These are in the palate too, but there's a raisined, slightly dead grape quality to the flavours. This is exaggerated by the fairly high alcohol, which really mars the finish. The wine is medium-bodied, increasingly warm on the palate, with low/medium powdery tannins and medium acid. It's OK, but not outstanding. Should have been picked a little earlier. I don't see any benefit in keeping this further.
