It's drinkable but there are giant freckled chunks of fruit swirling around and I just cant get the palate to integrate so it's down the sink. No joy. Time to open something else.

Got this funky age smell when you first open it. But after an hour of decant it begin to fade to a nice balanced aussie Shiraz. Fruit driven with that nice aged complexity. Paired with some good meat. Nice!

Aussie Shiraz; 9/20/2015-10/3/2015 (Edina Country Club): 1 hour decant and drank a glass over about 1.5 hours. Served blind, the consensus was Australian shiraz, but a balanced one! Chocolate, earth, tar, roasted meats, really nice. There was a lot going on here and it was fun to drink. It is definitely on the big-side.

Beautifully aged Australian Syrah. Very nice. But drink up now if you have some left.

Wow wine. Black pepper, blackberries, spices and earth. Long finish, balanced and enjoyable. A real steal of a value for what I paid for it.
