WTSO buy @$37; a fair price for quality, but this will improve in several years and garner a higher score. I opened too early. Pop n'pour in a Riedel Veritas Shiraz glass. Closed 1st 2 hours, then began to open. Kept improving over 6 hours. I saved half the bottle for next day. Nose a little muted; not the distinct Aussie rich peppery nose. Flavors are typical for Aussie Shiraz, but a less peppery and more fruit driven. Medium tannins have not fully integrated with fruit since it's too young. Therefore, less smoooth. Decent but not long finish. I would not buy again, but it's a good pour anyway.
