Rich, lavishly oaked, tannic and quite structured, this solid Shiraz probably needs 5 or more likely 10 years to be ready to drink, but, well, traveling and all and can’t bring everything home, medium-long finish, really does need time!! — 5 months ago

Excellent after 10 years in the cellar. Dark fruits, earthy went very nicely with stir fried mud crab — 4 years ago

Wednesday random cellar pick. Good. Was expecting some sharpness but there was none. Super smooth and enjoyable. This is the easy drinking kind of wine I like to pair with Italian food. — 5 months ago

Lovely after a couple of days open. A bit flat on the first night. But after weekend was soft, with taste of currents, oak, citrus, really mellow — 10 months ago

A gift (request) from a colleague. Mostly survived the travel from Aus. Lovely nose. Peppery. Opened up nicely after 20 minutes. — 5 years ago

Not as tannic as some. Cool@climate Shiraz at its best. — 9 months ago

$15 closeout & feels like theft! Inky massive, voluptuous wafting tons of dense black fruit, brooding, white pepper, game, bit feral, had a bit more nuance than many garden variety Shiraz. Very broad across the middle, generous ripe black fruit & pepper, decent balance, little clumsy & provincial, but definitely enjoyable. — 9 months ago

Fantastic stuff. Blue/plum fruit, a hint of menthol/eucalyptus, racy acidity, bright minerality, grippy tannins. If I’d not read the back label first I might have mistaken it for Shiraz. After 30min I got more of the chocolatey red currant notes of the Cab. The flavor profile of this is uniquely Aussie. Out of my #grassl1855 — 4 years ago
