2018 on the shelf at Dan’s with the 2022? Lovely wine, so subtle. Still prefer the Yeringberg! — a day ago

Lot more concentrated than 2018. Probably missing a bit of balance at this stage. But great and well crafted wine — a year ago

The Octavius Barossa Shiraz 1993

Jay Kline

9.2

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours and seemed to only gain momentum until the last sip. The 1993 Octavius pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core moving towards a slightly garnet rim; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and blue fruits: blackberries, plums, blueberries, leather, graphite, black olive, dried purple flowers, dried green herbs, a mix of decomposing organic and inorganic earth, along with some gentle baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, luxurious and savory with loads of umami. This represented one of the older Australian wines I've ever had and I thought it was fantastic. Drink now through 2033. — 3 months ago
