Wow. This is aged Australian Shiraz at its finest. So rich, dense, voluptuous and flavor packed...all at 17/18 yrs old! As it was being poured, you could smell the eucalyptus/mint notes from half a table away. Incredibly perfumed, alongside dark chocolate covered cherries and blue and black fruit compote. On the palate it retained the Andes mint-like sweetness with black cherry liqueur, tar, mixed berry pie and fig. Sporting an ABV of 16.5% (!), it didn’t come across hot at all. Powered through being open a couple hours without a problem. No rush here. Fantastic! Thanks for sharing @joe leatherwood . — 5 days ago

I’ve always enjoyed this selection. The brooding dark fruits, the graphite, clove, and espresso, and the Luxardo syrup - it’s all very delicious. — 12 days ago

Lovely Syrah from Darioush. Had to let this one open up for a bit though. — 4 days ago

Vintage 2009 / good concentration. Brushwood in smell, as well as bouillon. Complex smell, multi layered. It opens like a peacock tail. Cherries in a wonderful mature and yet vivid taste. Elegance. Long aftertaste that impresses me. — 19 hours ago

Very ripe on the nose, a bit caramel. Lots of game, leather and spices. Drink now, won’t get any better in my opinion. — 13 hours ago

Far too young, but it sings already
Nice sour cherry with white pepper and pencil lead and a little balsamic too
European tannin of the best kind
I'd say silky here
Super long and intense
I'd say we should forget ii in the bottom of the cellar for easily 15 to 20 years, but if by mistake you popped it opened give me a shout — 15 days ago

drank a glass a night over 4 nights ~ 1st night paired well with steak on the grill with some sautéed mushrooms ~ following nights didn’t “require” food and could appreciate on its own ~ loads of dark berries followed by a mocha profile with some spices — 4 days ago

Great Australian fruit in a dress of European tannin
Quite long and delicious
So pleasant already, but absolutely good to be cellared — a day ago

Okay. We took a break from the Mendoza Malbec, Cab Franc and Cab Sauv by escaping to South Australia for the night drinking this awesome Shiraz we brought with us visiting the Ballard’s in Buenos Aires! Peppered blood! That came to mind drinking it. Ripe raspberry, deep dark cherry and dried figs drenched in earthy tannin and notes of clove. Great time! Had to ignore that look Tammy gave me when I poured the last little bit just in my glass for...you know... for convenience 😊 — 7 days ago
