Initially it was a little harsh on the nose, smelled like overripe fruit. After a little decanting it mellowed out and I got shuttle hints of cherry. Smooth drinking, no alcohol burn, light cherry. Enjoyed this bottle.

Lovely, hedonistic mix of vanillin oak and fruit. Lighter in the fruit spectrum than one would expect, with blueberries, plums, red currant and some Blackberry. Velvet, smooth tannins on the palate. Nice lengthy finish of oak, spice and subdued fruit.

I love how Australian shiraz ages. This was not a peppery, jammy beast but rather a moderate blueberry with some black licorice. Even for a "value" offering, this has held up well after 7 years, could keep going for many more years.
