Ruby in color and cloudy, with a wide reddish/ brick rim.
Sweet nose with cedar, vanilla, honey and chocolates.
Sweet on the palate with black fruits, tobacco, cereal, vanilla, licorice, light wood, chocolates, coffee, light cola and peppercorn.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy cherries.
This 29 year old is still drinking beautifully. Nicely balanced and elegant. Rich and fruit forward.
I don't see it getting any better from this point on. Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.
Delicious right out of the bottle, and a gorgeous dessert wine.

This is a delicious Shiraz from the Yarra Valley in Australia. Tasty and easy drinking. Fruit forward and nicely balanced. Showing lovely complexity on the nose.
This 14 year old is peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Feels like a Napa Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend. Very interesting.
Thank you Scott for sharing this with me.
I did not decant it, but let it open in the bottle. Good right out of the bottle, and gets better after 90 minutes of airtime.
100% Shiraz grapes were handpicked, and aged for 12 months in large oak barrels.
