Great use of wood with a lovely structure and a touch of acid towards the end. Softens down with a little time in the glass. Some oiliness. Good length. Some white nectarines — 8 years ago

This is fascinating. Initial nose is all blueberries. Mouth is all spice. The two don’t match. Over time in the glass, they gel until the nose and the mouth match. A little astringency towards the end. — 8 years ago

This is delicious. Good, old fashioned oak, buttery and rich, with a solid steel rod of acidity and stone fruit. Delicious!

Very clean, nice acid, something a bit “funky” mid palete. With olives, there is an almost salty, flinty flavour. Very interesting... a nutty, toastiness on the nose... — 8 years ago

I’m drinking the Obsessive Shiraz. Great length, almost star anise with meatiness. Some fruit (red currants?) at the back of the nose, but the initial impression is all protein based. Middle weight pallet, some lovely silkiness and really great length... — 8 years ago

Thin, slight "soapy" aftertaste. Some nice white nectarine and grapefruit, but spoiled by the soapy aftertaste. — 8 years ago
