If you've ever met me, if you've ever seen any wines I posted, you'll know, this is not my style. It's old, 2005, but it doesn't show a lot of development, and it's surprisingly not hot for 16.5°. Enjoyable.

I bit of a controversy. I enjoyed but my son is not a big Shiraz fan. Typical of the period. Massive everything from dark black fruit, to alcohol to oak... but I still like it.

Post-Marquis #9 this wine demonstrates good intensity for being 10 years old. Has lost some fruit forwardness that I imagine it had in its youth.

A little heat affected, slight raisin feel and showing a lot of alcohol
