Dark fruit, the right amount of tannins and the influence of time! Superb — 2 years ago
Deep Ruby in colour - very dark for a 15 year old red with no bricking at this stage. Blackberry and chocolate with ripe black fruits on nose and palate - not as pruney as previous Stonewell notes. Lush and full bodied from selected old vine Shiraz vineyards in the Barossa - in the Greenock district amongst others. This is Barossa Shiraz at its best from a good vintage. Hard not to like - warm and comforting - perfect for a cooler night with pork chops. — 2 years ago

Here is a delicious 100 point wine from Australia.
Deep inky in color with a short brick rim. Not showing age much.
Strong sweet nose of black fruits with tobacco, raisins, dried fruits, oak, licorice, eucalyptus, light vinaigrette and peppercorn.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity.
Dry on and fruity on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, light vanilla, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, pencil lead, dark coffee and dark chocolates.
Short finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a delicious Shiraz from Barossa Valley. Rich and elegant, with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
A good quality wine that needs a couple of hours to open up properly.
This 27 year old is still drinking very nicely. Past its prime, but still very enjoyable.

May 2023: fruit bomb, very concentrated to the extent of being off balance, probably ageing will improve it — 10 months ago
Time has put a bit of prudence and elderly wisdom in this once burly, high-octane Barossa Shiraz. Don’t get me wrong, there is still a big black core of macerated fruit and generously dosed oak as well. Yet the aromatics and structure of this wine are open knit and transparent now, so we can clearly pick up notes of cinnamon, caramel, dried rose-petals, humidor and allspice.
This is perfectly Mature now. Sensible. Friendly. Complex and nuanced. Simply Delightful. — 10 months ago

Темно-рубиновый цвет. Фрукты и минерал выдает первый нос, нотки ванили, древесины, инжира. Полнотелое, раскошное, Черные сладкие фрукты и ягоды во вкусе, спиртовая колкость на языке. Мясо, спагетти, сыр дополнят полноту ощущений. — a month ago
