  Two bottles of the same in one sitting. Better cork this one. Different wine because of it. Still deep dark and brooding. Cassis and tobacco. Still showing sulphur (I know as I had a sneezing fit - allergy). Lush, juicy Shiraz fruit. Fine tannins. Whilst a better wine than the last bottle though not as quaffable.

  Under cork, crumbling. Dark, brooding red. Soft and eminently drinkable.

  Under cork enclosure hardly used. Dense dark ink black. Unusual musty stewed porty nose. Follows through to soft raspberry and stewed plums almost sweet. Succulent. Very fine tannins. I'm sure there will be sediment.

  Cork enclosure. Blackcurrant red with hints of age. Tobacco and vanilla. Softening Shiraz fruit. Long drying tannins. Very drinkable. Addendum. Sediment aplenty.

  Well balanced. Fruit is intense but supported by the tannins and acidity. Tertiary characteristics are still subdued but definitely adds to the sum. Wish I had more.
