  Wow, what a lovely wine. Smooth and silky with velvety (I can’t say silky again) tannins some fruit still present with loads of tertiary complexity. Almost a long finish. A

  Over the hill. Drinkable, but past it’s prime.
  
  Couldn’t get the cork out, but when I pushed it in it appeared in great condition.
  
  Wine had a lot of bricking, hence the red color with orange elements. The most oak I have ever experienced on a nose. A turnoff but might have been worse without it. Wine had some fruit and texture, but wasn’t like a typical Aussie Shiraz.
  
  Oh well, wasn’t expensive at all.

  Colour: still had that dark plum Shiraz. Very nice
  Nose: plum with sweet cherry
  Taste: surprisingly better than last bottle.
  This time, opened bottle for over an hour before pouring. Rich sweet plum smooth and delicious.
  Sediment was present, definitely should be decanted.

  Nice fruit and long finish. Holding up very nicely. IMO has at least another five years of very fine drinking.

  At first, very nice sweet plum on the nose. First few sip, a slight sweet at the front and then the bitterness was apparent. After 2-3 hours it opens up very nice and tasty surprise! Not very big flavour, I would say medium but still plenty of fruit flavour.
  The colour is still very nice - plum dark red.
  It still have some life. I think it can still be nicely drunk a year or two later with proper storage.
