Still got fruit and tannin! The fruit is much more present on the nose whereas the tannins come through on the palette. Still a lovely old shiraz, that while on the downslope is definitely enjoyable. Rich cranberry notes and creamy oak on the attack, settling into a bitter cherry style flavor that lingers on the finish. The nose still tells of it coming from a warmer year, but this has settled into late middle age well.
