Exceptionally delicious. Blood and leather opened up to dried fruits. Smooth. Classic aged Shiraz characteristics. Drinking very well tonight.

Initial notes of dried meat and pepper faded later. Some herbs and plum skin characters. Lacks fruit and is somewhat astringent. Disappointing for price and reputation.

Taking on greater savoury notes, fruit still present somewhat; briar, violets and a little black currant.
