Very nice nose, deep flavours of chocolate and a little bit of raspberry go well together.
This is a big flavoured wine with both the acid and tannin to let it last much longer, and thus will cellar for more years. — 8 months ago
Big and rich and coming into its own now. Plummy and jammy on one hand, with some savoury characters and a good whack of texture, plus that high alcohol warmth. Great for a winter’s night with steak and vintage cheddar. Not exactly delicate, but very easy to sit back and enjoy. — 9 months ago
Wow, twenty two year old, and still in a lovely spot with no sign of decline any time soon. Full body, incredible bouquet and flavours, with a long, long aftertaste. And powerful too. The label says 16.1 % alcohol, but it felt more like 26.1 %. Opened for valentine’s 2024. It went nicely with our pork schnitzel and delicious ganache chocolate cake. Yum. — a month ago
"Vineyards nurtured with care and sure premium fruit for this regionally expressive shiraz. It has a deep vibrant color and offers distinctive varietal characters of lifted white pepper aroma, dark berry fruits, plum and spice, supported by a layered, well balanced palate and persistent finish." — 4 months ago
What a great wine and what a great price. Perfectly balanced and elegant. I have a soft spot for this sort of blend done well and this is very well done. — 9 months ago
