Very much in the Clarendon Hills style - big, rich and concentrated. Typical MV shiraz - black fruits, plums, spice, also mint, liquorice and a nice dark perfume. Full bodied, tannins are now well integrated. Smooth and mouth filling. Won't be to everyone's liking. An obvious step up from most other Syrahs in the CH range, Astralis aside.

Supper with Jan group (McLeay Street Bistro, Potts Point): From magnum. Concentrated black fruits, caramel oak and sweet spice. Very primary nose. And so it proves on the palate, big bold blackberry, caramel oak, tightly textured grippy tannins, this is showing very young but is balanced. Needs more time.

The Piggott is a superbly balanced Shiraz that is drinking at its peak. Amazing length and dark fruit palate. Tannins are fully integrated and there is no sense of warmth from the alcohol. An absolute treasure.

Previous notes were from a Coravined glass at PNP. Opened and given two hours. Fabulous nose of menthol, blackberries, spice, vanilla pipe tobacco. Rich and opulent. Bold. Blackberries, cherry, crisp, soft tannins, and a super long berry filled finish.

Very well done, beautiful Syrah. Everything in place. Complex and drinking well now.
