Outstanding shiraz. Beautiful balance of red and darker fruits, spices and some vanilla bean. Really quite approachable now but will improve over many years, as always. Fine tannins and a long finish.

Decanted 2 hours in advance. Maybe it was my mood at the time, or the glassware, but the nose did not reveal a lot except for the spice of the French oak. Very good fruit weight and balance to the wine with plum, vanilla, chocolate/moca and spice from the French oak. An elegant style of wine, perhaps missing some palate and fruit ‘drive’ I was expecting and seemed a bit flat. Dusty type tannin on the finish. I will have to have another look at this at the end of the year.
