  OWC from London to HK and stored for only 8 months. I am a fan of Fox Creek Shiraz snd had purchased many different vintage in the past and they seldom failed to please especially for such a good price. Level, capsule and cork were all good. Mature cardinal red and nice plumy currant nose Decant for 30 mins. Solid cassis, olive and silky vanilla with hint of tobacco, cedar and leather. 60 AUD per bottle is an absolute bargain. Pity that I wasn't into tasting notes wiritng for other vintages I had tried. A lovely pleasant Aussie shiraz.

  Enjoyed this magnum. Based on some comments below, I opened it up and decanted for about 1.5 hours. One issue, the cork came apart during opening but not corked. We improvised and ran it through a coffee plunger which did the trick. Was a medium bodied Shiraz and quite smooth. If you still have one, don’t be scared to open it.

  Nose a bit musty to start off but cleared off nicely to reveal dark cherries with a good hint still of pepper maybe a little mint.
  
  Colour nice and robust. Dark red/crimson no real hint of discoloration from age.
  
  V nice balance of fruit, oak, spice and acidity.
  Legs and finish medium to medium-long.
