  I really liked this wine. So balanced for a Barossa shiraz. Everything is hanging together nicely. Looking at my past notes,

  Field Mushrooms, leather, hints of black fruits. Tanins still somewhat there but becoming resolved. Touch of spice. In the drinking window now. I would recommend drinking up over the next few 3-5 years. I would also recommend a short decant 1-2 hours. Unreal wine. 96

  Allowed three hours of slow oxidation in bottle. A rounded and polished Shiraz with ample dark fruits and tamed oak influences. Good weight and structure. Very ready and can keep for at least a decade.

  (Blind tasting)
  Full, rich nose of black fruit, bramble, mint and oak. Massive, immediate but not multi-layred. Not very complex.
  Full body. Juicy and sweet impression. Vulgar and not elegant. Rich and luxurious. Blueberry, bramble, butter and oak integrated. Of course well-made Aussie style Shiraz, but I had hoped for more tertiary complexity and less sweet, sticky fruit.

  2 years later and what a different view of this wine. For me this wine has gone past a point. The acidity has been lost. It makes the wine feel flaccid. A bit of a disappointment all round. I can only hope this is a one-off.
