  Moncur Syrah/Shiraz (Bistro Moncur, Sydney): Decanted, concentrated black fruit tends to the tarry and liquorice, plenty of sweet spice here as well, quite feisty nose with a little alcohol prickle. Juicy, fleshy, concentrated, dense, tannins are woody, chalky and a little too much for the fruit. Time will obviously help.

  Intense. Fine. Rich with the elegance of Viognier. Will age nicely.
