Drunk over three nights. Nice enough but didn't have that invigorating, life-giving lift that you hope for in a good wine. Will it get better? Was it in a dumb phase? Who knows.

Decanted for one hour. Slightly reticent nose delivering a little funky and fruity aromas. Light bodied, pleasantly smooth, showing discreet mellow red toned fruit and hints of cooked vegetables. Soft tannins and gentle acidity. Delicious and elegant. This is starting to come around and is probably near its peak now. Not that typical aussie shiraz, stylistically more into northern rhone.

A complete 180 from my last note, decanted for about an hour, again this had great fragrance but this time it was revealing a deep & jammy rasberry concoction of flavors that lasts and lasts. Definitely not a let down this time and I was slightly disappointed to know I only had one bottle left. I doubt I'll buy more, but at least this bottle is starting to turn around.

Had with a multitude of different flavored small plates. Flavor varied from slight chalk to fruity but always enjoyable.
