The older, the better. A blackcurrant, pepper & vanilla. High acidity, maybe too high for me, but it's ok. — 3 months ago

Was absolutely delicious, until I tasted the Shotfire Shiraz 2012 also from Thorn-Clarke, which bested it. — 9 years ago

Full bodied, soft on the palate, black berries and black current with hints of spice and chocolate. A new favorite! — 4 months ago

Tried six 2002 reds, all with Cabernet in the blend. The pepper dominated, rich, almost port-like.

After Thorne shotfire barossa shiraz which was round, very oaky and lacking a bit of acid, I wanted another expression of the same varietal from the same region, but with more zing to it.
Boy this one is zingy!
The nose is showing blackberry, black pepper, a tiny soy sauce note along with an eucalyptus thing. This is very inviting and quite complex! The palate shows a massive acid drive, extremely powerful, but not overpowering at all. A big and bright blackberry note shines through and through, some width, some matter on the sides, a silky mouthfeel that turns into a great tannic wall in the rear with a strong grip and a drying effect that continues till the very end. The finish is all about blackberry and a reminiscence of that eucalyptus /mentholy note that could be felt on the nose. The finish is long and the after taste of blackberry keeps on for almost a minute. Great take on Australian Shiraz, without the artificial, sometimes overwhelming oak treatment. I like it very much. Two hands deserve a high five! — 6 months ago

Elegant blend not trying to pretend a bordaux. Really good value which makes it difficult to be patient. — 8 years ago
