Opened and decanted for 2 hours for a large wine dinner. Major disappointment by all who tasted. Although the label said 14% alcohol, came across as very hot, unbalanced with big tannins and lacking fruit. Basically over powered anything you could pair with it, in this case lamb.

Opened and decanted for 90 minutes; deep purple to the rim. Rich nose heavy with blackberry, vanilla and minty spice. On the palate - blackberry, dark fruit, spice and light oak. Well integrated tannins and long finish. This is an excellent example of a decade old shiraz that is aging beautifully.
