Consistent with my notes from a yeara ago, although I think it held together a little better. Definitely slightly pruney from the opening, but kind of held up over three nights. Good value.

Tale of three nights. First night nice with structure upholding the fruit. Second night (under pump) turned major pruney, which is a negative. Third somewhat more balanced, thought not as good as first. Definitely missed the primary window, so drink up.

This 21 years old Shiraz from Australia has seen better days. It is a few years over the hill, but still enjoyable.
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing black fruits with wood, earth, mildew, vinaigrette, tobacco leaf, dark coffee, peppercorn, chocolates, spices, wet leaves and herbs.
Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle and good by itself.
Grapes were aged in American oak barrels for 18 months.
15% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
