  Wine Boys Brown Bag Mystery Tasting (DF's House): PnD let air for 1hr. Tasted blind.
  
  Dark deep purple. Mushroom soy sauce and blackberry on the nose. Blackberry blueberry touch of smoke and coffee on the palate. Guessed new world and Shiraz.
  
  Very nice and with some elegance. Fifth favourite of the night (out of five) as just not my style and would be hard to have more than one glass.

  Mid-red. Some sediment on the decant. Classic Barossa Shiraz. Christmas pudding, plums, ripe red fruit on the nose. Still relatively balanced. A typical and classic expression of the style.

  Depending on taste it is either a bit over the top or perfectly right. Acid was at a comfortable level, a lot of fruit and a bit of aging. I would recommend to drink it now for those who still have some left.

  Big, bold, structured and with a heap of pepeper. This has been fairly tannic and alcoholic, but now starting to integrate. This bottle was 90min double decanted and showed there was ample structure - lovely acidity to offset the deep sweetness and tanins compliment the fruit. Will be at peak in 2yrs and last another 5 easily. Enjoyable albeit tiring to drink - some blueberry and floral perfume but pretty much a blackberry spice box bomb without too much else other than a nice richness.

  Gorgeous garnet colour. Nose still vibrant but fruit has softened and stewed somewhat in aroma Sharp current flavours and rich red cherries. Spice is still nicely pronounced Finish isn't overly long but still very full bodies. Full mouth feel
