Cellared since release. Popped and poured. Definitely ready, possibly slightly passed it's prime, but still very good. Big wine, wonderful smooth mouth feel. Flavors match aromas: vanilla, spice (especially some pepper), some oak and black licorice. Very nice at 15 indeed. Drink by end 2015.

Very pleasant; a blast of minty and eucalyptus aromas initially, but with a little air some rich dark fruits emerge along with some nice developed flavours of leather and dried spices. There's a touch of oak lurking in the background, but this is really nicely balanced with a lightness of touch I don't often find in Aussie Shiraz and a polished, silken texture.

Big structure, spicy, but lacking fruit.
