It is drinking beautifully with nice soft tannins with an abundance of dark berries. It is fantastic for a Shiraz that’s 24 years old this year. The inky blackness of youth has matured to include shades of brown. It’s probably at its peak but I shall keep at least one bottle to try again in 5-10 years!

Jan 4th, 2020This baby is nearly 20 years old but was as fresh as a daisy. Aromas of black fruits and erotic sweetness, the wine itself has amazing fruit sweetness but balance, depth and length. Every Barossa winemaker would kill for an 18 year old wine to taste so fresh and alive, so true to its region and with perfectly pitched balance. Simply exceptional.
