This is still primary with a lot of bright red fruit sitting under a decent percentage of new French oak. Balance is good. Hunter terroir showing through. This is big and yet classy. Loads of time still on its side. I’ll hold the last bottle for another 5

Perhaps unfairly drunk with limited air time. Initially a little simple and red fruited albeit well structured. Surprised on the elegant side. With time it grew some better depth, breadth and complexity. Gave it an extra point for where it was trending. Very nice.

Monthly Tuesday group "The Dead Sparrow" #047:Shiraz/Syrah, Australia, France and South Africa. (By AG): Deep and concentrated bouquet with eucalyptus and beautiful spiciness. On the palate a firm amount of acidity, iron, eucalyptus, mild tannin with a soft bite and some pleasant bitterness. Very tasty wine.

Quite amazing. Bright, young, firm acidity. Red fruits are the dominant flavour, though also smoked meat. Has at least a decade.
