Way too early for this wine. First day was disappointed barely 87, tannin and acid dominant with no integration, but day 2 it really came in to its own. Dark berry in color. Striking strawberry dominance on the nose and front palate with darker fruits apparent in the mouth. Much more balanced with the now subtle tannin and oak providing some foundation for the strawberry and providing a nice finish. What a difference a day makes.

Very competent GSMV. Shiraz dominant at 74% but the 2% Viognier seems to really shout. Aromatic, floral, tingly tropical fruits. Really friendly yet classy. Not a keeper.

Initially quite a ripe nose, quite jammy and coulis-like with herbal overtones, on aeration some darker fruits and spice come through. Very inviting; reasonably light on its feet, very smooth tannins, good core of fruit. Delicious wine. Good freshness running through this.
