Drank at wineberserkers blind tasting event at cork buzz. 5 hour decant. Excellent, full bodied and rich. Few guessed it to be a Syrah but was rated second best wine of the night (after a 2011 SQN)

Great, great experience! Still powerful, fantastic age, well structured. Among the best bottles of wine I have tasted. Paired with beef and truffles, match made in heaven.

Very good SA Shiraz.
Big dark fruit, lovely smooth texture, just a hint of grip and a nice long finish.

Ripe dark fruit on the nose, something else that tingles the hair in the nose. The oak is now integrated, so all beautiful fruit and spice on the palate with fine tannin and acid to balance the fruit. Comes across as lush and big but absolutely enjoyable.
