For the price i thought this was fantastic. Aged shiraz profile with all the trimmings. Palate more in check than nose (which was a bit murky). I sense that the palate might follow the nose soon, so drink up.

I think I have a soft spot for Aussie Shiraz. Very typical nose on this one. Butterscotch, some vanilia, liquorice, dill and dark red fruit, blackberries and blackcurrant. With age the quite generous oak treatment have evolved into a very distinct Rioja-like character. Palate is not as heavy as the nose with a good acidity, suprisingly dry tannins and a medium+ body. Maybe lacks a bit of intensity, and I woulnd't keep this for much longer. Still quite nice and fun for a mere 150SEK.

Back again on good form. Beautiful fruit, with added oak, and quite some development. At peak, or just past it.

This bottle was less well kept. Faded fruit.
