Impenetrable black through to the edges. Full bodied, lashings of ripe berries and plum. Background chocolate, smooth tannins and acid in balance. Good mid palate and length. A little dry on the finish, probably the 16% alcohol, a good wine but not for the faint hearted. Recommend it be consumed with food. Would have scored 92 but for the alcohol level.

Opaque in the glass, ruby at the rim. Savary but bitter on the nose with staranese eucalyptus and licorice . The pallet is sweet with stewed fruits. and Forrest floor mushrooms on the back. Finishes a little hot. 16%...!! tannin's are fine. Overall a good wine without being great. Will revisit in 4 years. 5 +8 +13+ 8+ 8 = 92.

An intense shiraz. Quite smooth but not displaying characteristics of an aged wine after 6 years cellaring.

Excellent Ringland. Full flavoured. Benefitted from a short decanting. A bit youthful - will only improve with age.

Fruity, full bodied shiraz in the CR style. Too young at the moment IMHO
