Deep ruby colour. Loads happening on the nose with liquorice, cherry, blueberry, plum, white pepper, cloves, tobacco and wood smoke. High, integrated acid and medium tannin. The palate has cherry, plum, blue and blackberry, vanilla, meat, leather. All packaged in a lingering, long finish. Still has many years of enjoyment ahead.

Lovely complex great western Shiraz. Medium weight and just sooo beautifully balanced. Great length. Don’t think it’s a long keeper. While it will go for another 15 years not sure it will improve. I would drink it over next couple of years. Lovely winet

Similar notes to last time. This bottle was drunk over two nights, with the first night being the better. Blueberry, blackberry, white pepper, cloves on the palate. Good length with firm tannins. Still has a decade of life in front of it.

Nice wine with good structure and balance. Blackberries and white pepper on the nose. Blackberries again on the palate, along with cedar and cloves. The fruit has a certain power and intensity which is attractive. The tannins are nicely integrated and provide a nice drying finish that lingers. Overall very good.
